And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house, and kill, and make ready, for the men shall dine with me at noon. 
And the man did as Joseph bade, and the man brought the men to Joseph's house. 
And the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, We are brought in because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time, that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, a 
And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they spoke to him at the door of the house,

And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spoke? Is he yet alive? 
And they said, Thy servant our father is well; he is yet alive. And they bowed the head, and made obeisance.

And Joseph made haste, for his heart yearned over his brother, and he sought where to weep. And he entered into his chamber, and wept there. 
And he washed his face, and came out. And he restrained himself, and said, Set on bread. 
And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, who ate with him, by themselves, because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians. 
And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth. And the men marveled one with another. 
And he took [and sent] portions to them from before him, but Benjamin's portion was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
