Genesis 43:26-34 - His compression grew warm

43:26-30

The brothers present Joseph with the gifts and bow down before him. Joseph then asks them about the well being of their (and his!) father. Joseph did not even know if his father was still alive. Joseph was pleased to see Benjamin and pronounced a blessing upon him. At that point he was overcome with emotion and rushed out of the room so that his brothers would not see him weeping.

43:31-34

After getting himself together, Joseph went back in to be with his brothers and ordered the food to be served, though Joseph ate separately from his brothers. The Egyptians present also ate separately. The Egyptians could not eat with the Hebrews for cultural reasons. It was quite a meal they had, but Benjamin was given five times as much as the others. At this point Joseph had still not revealed to them who he was.
