25 They prepared the gift, anticipating Joseph’s arrival at noon, since they had heard that they would have a meal there.
26 When Joseph came into the house, they presented him the gift they had brought with them into the house, and they bowed low in front of him.
27 He asked them how they were and said, "How is your elderly father, about whom you spoke? Is he still alive?"
28 They said, "Your servant our father is fine. He’s still alive." And they bowed down again with deep respect.
29 Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son, and he said, "Is this your youngest brother whom you told me about? God be gracious to you, my son."
30 Joseph’s feelings for his brother were so strong he was about to weep, so he rushed to another room and wept there.
31 He washed his face, came back, pulled himself together, and said, "Set out the dinner."
