25 But they also prepared the gifts, until Joseph entered at midday. For they had heard that they would eat bread there.
26 And so Joseph entered his house, and they offered him the gifts, holding them in their hands. And they reverenced prone on the ground.
27 But he, gently greeting them again, questioned them, saying: 'Is your father, the old man about whom you spoke to me, in good health? Is he still alive?'
28 And they answered: 'Your servant, our father, is safe; he is still alive.' And bowing, they reverenced him.
29 Then Joseph, lifting up his eyes, saw Benjamin, his brother of the same womb, and he said, 'Is this your little brother, about whom you spoke to me?' And again, he said, 'May God be compassionate to you, my son.'
