Genesis 43:24-30 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

24. Then the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder.

25. So they prepared the present for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.

26. When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him.

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

28. They said, "Your servant our father is well; he is still alive." They bowed down in homage.

29. As he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, he said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, "May God be gracious to you, my son."

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