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.
29. Then Joseph looked up and saw Benjamin, his brother, the son of his mother. He asked, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you told me?” Then he said to him, “May God be gracious to you, my son!”
30. With that, Joseph hurried out, for he was so overcome with affection for his brother that he was on the verge of tears. So he went into a private room and wept there.
