Genesis 43:31-33

Expanded Bible

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

³² So they served Joseph ·at one table [^Lby himself], his brothers ·at another table [^Lby themselves], and the Egyptians who ate with him ·at another table [^Lby themselves]. ·This was because Egyptians did not like Hebrews and never ate with them [^LFor the Egyptians could not eat with Hebrews, for it was an abomination to the Egyptians]. ³³ Joseph’s brothers were seated in front of him ·in order of their ages [^Lthe firstborn according to his birthright], ·from oldest to youngest [^Lthe youngest according to his youth]. They looked at each other because they were so amazed.
