Genesis 43:24-28 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

24. The steward then brought the men inside Joseph’s house. He gave them water to wash their feet, and gave fodder to their donkeys.

25. Then they set out their gifts to await Joseph’s arrival at noon, for they had heard that they were to dine there.

26. When Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought inside, while they bowed down before him to the ground.

27. After inquiring how they were, he asked them, “And how is your aged father, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”

28. “Your servant our father is still alive and doing well,” they said, as they knelt and bowed down.
