22. and we have brought other money down with us to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.”
23. He replied, “Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has put treasure in your sacks for you. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
24. And when the man had brought the men into Joseph’s house and given them water, and they had washed their feet, and when he had given their donkeys fodder,
25. they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26. When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground.
27. And he inquired about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
28. They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
29. And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!”
30. Then Joseph hurried out, for his compassion grew warm for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and wept there.
31. Then he washed his face and came out. And controlling himself he said, “Serve the food.”
32. They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
