25. They prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.
26. When Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves down to the earth before him.
27. He asked them of their welfare, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he yet alive?”
28. They said, “Your servant, our father, is well. He is still alive.” They bowed down humbly.
29. He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?” He said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”

31. He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, “Serve the meal.”
