22. “And we have brought down other silver in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our silver in our sacks.”
23. But he said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your Elohim and the Elohim of your father has given you treasure in your sacks – your silver had come to me!” And he brought Shim‛on out to them.
24. And the man brought the men into Yosĕph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet. And he gave their donkeys fodder.
25. And they made the present ready for Yosĕph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they were to eat there.
26. And when Yosĕph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand, into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.
27. And he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
28. And they said, “Your servant our father is in good health, he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and did obeisance.
29. And he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Binyamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “Elohim show favour to you, my son.”
30. And Yosĕph hurried, for his emotions were deeply moved towards his brother, and he looked for a place to weep, and went into his room and wept there.
31. Then he washed his face and came out, and controlled himself, and said, “Serve the food.”
32. And they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Mitsrites who ate with him by themselves, for the Mitsrites could not eat food with the Heḇrews, for that is an abomination to the Mitsrites.
33. And they sat before him, the first-born according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at each other in astonishment.
34. And he took portions to them from before him, but Binyamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they feasted and they drank with him.
