Genesis 43:16-34 - The Banquet At Joseph's House
16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home and slay an animal and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon. 17 And the man did as Joseph bade, and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
18 And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house, and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time we are brought in here that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us and take us for slaves and our asses. 19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they spoke with him at the door of the house
20 and said, my lord, we came indeed down the first time to buy food; 21 and it came to pass when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; and we have brought it again in our hand. 22 And we brought down other money in our hands to buy food; we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not; your God, and the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them. 24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet, and he gave their asses fodder. 25 And they made ready the present waiting until Joseph came at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there. 26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which they had in their hand in the house and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 And he asked them of their welfare and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive?
28 And they answered, Thy slave our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads and made obeisance.
29 And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spoke unto me? And he said, God be merciful unto thee, my son. 30 Then Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother; and he sought where to weep, and he entered into his chamber and wept there. 31 And he washed his face and went out and refrained himself and said, Serve bread.
32 And they served for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves; because the Egyptians may not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians. 33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men marvelled one at another. 34 And he took and sent portions unto them from before him; but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were drunk with him.
