Lexham English Bible
31 Then he washed his face and went out, now controlling himself, and said, “Serve the food.” 32 And they served him[a] by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, for Egyptians could not dine[b] with Hebrews, because that was a detestable thing to Egyptians. 33 And they were seated before him from the firstborn according to his birthright to the youngest according to his youth. And the men looked at one another[c] amazed.
