Genesis 43:25-31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

25. And they made ready the present they had brought for Joseph before his coming at noon, for they heard that they were to dine there.

26. And when Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which they had with them, and bowed themselves to him to the ground.

27. He asked them of their welfare and said, Is your old father well, of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?

28. And they answered, Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive. And they bowed down their heads and made obeisance.

29. And he looked up and saw his [full] brother Benjamin, his mother's [only other] son, and said, Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to you, my son!

30. And Joseph hurried from the room, for his heart yearned for his brother, and he sought privacy to weep; so he entered his chamber and wept there.

31. And he washed his face and went out, and, restraining himself, said, Let dinner be served.
