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.
