Genesis 43:31-33
1599 Geneva Bible
31 Afterward he washed his face, and came out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on [a]meat.
32 And they [b]prepared for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves, because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews: for that was an [c]abomination unto the Egyptians.
33 So they sat before him: the eldest according unto his age, and the youngest according unto his youth: and the men marveled among themselves.
