Genesis 43:31-33

International Standard Version

³¹ then washed his face and came out. Barely controlling himself, he ordered his staff to serve the meal.

³² Joseph’s staff^[a] served him by himself, his brothers^[b] separately, and the Egyptian staff members by themselves, because the Egyptians wouldn’t take their meal with the Hebrews, since doing so was detestable for the Egyptians. ³³ Meanwhile, the brothers^[c] were seated in front of Joseph in birth order, from firstborn to youngest. The men stared at one another in astonishment.
