Genesis 43:30-34 Modern English Version (MEV)

30. Joseph hurried out, for he was deeply moved over his brother and sought a place to weep. So he entered into his chamber and wept there.

31. Then he washed his face and came out. 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 a meal with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

33. They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

34. He gave them portions from his own table, but Benjamin’s serving was five times more than any of theirs. So they drank and feasted with him.
