25 They got their gifts ready to present to Joseph when he arrived at noon, because they had been told that they were to eat with him.
26 When Joseph got home, they took the gifts into the house to him and bowed down to the ground before him.
27 He asked about their health and then said, “You told me about your old father — how is he? Is he still alive and well?”
28 They answered, “Your humble servant, our father, is still alive and well.” And they knelt and bowed down before him.
29 When Joseph saw his brother Benjamin, he said, “So this is your youngest brother, the one you told me about. God bless you, my son.”
30 Then Joseph left suddenly, because his heart was full of tender feelings for his brother. He was about to break down, so he went to his room and cried.
31 After he had washed his face, he came out, and controlling himself, he ordered the meal to be served.
