Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Genesis 43
²⁸ And they answered, "Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive." And they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves.
²⁹ Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, "Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."
³⁰ Now his heart yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and wept there.
³¹ Then he washed his face and came out; and he restrained himself, and said, "Serve the bread."
³² So they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
³³ And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked in astonishment at one another.
³⁴ Then he took servings to them from before him, but Benjamin’s serving was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.
Genesis 44
¹ And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, "Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack.
² Also put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money." So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
³ As soon as the morning dawned, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
⁴ When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, "Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ’Why have you repaid evil for good?
