Joseph was waiting in his house when Judah and his brothers arrived. When they saw Joseph, they all fell to the ground before him.
Then his brothers came and threw themselves down before Joseph’s feet, saying, “We are here as your slaves!”
The men laid out their gifts to present to Joseph, for they were told he would appear before them at noon and would dine with them.
When Joseph saw his brother Benjamin with them, he said to his chief servant, “Bring the men to my house and make them feel at home. Butcher an animal and prepare a meal, for these men are to dine with me at noon.”
