Genesis 43:31-34

31 Then he washed his face and came out. And ^acontrolling himself he said, “Serve the food.” 32 They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat with the Hebrews, for that is ^ban abomination to the Egyptians. 33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth. And the men looked at one another in amazement. 34 ^cPortions were taken to them from Joseph’s table, but Benjamin’s portion was ^dfive times as much as any of theirs. And they drank and were merry ^{▼▼Hebrew and became intoxicated} with him.
