- And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
- And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
- And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
- And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
- And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.

- When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground.
- He asked them how they were, and then he said, "How is your aged father you told me about? Is he still living?"
- They replied, "Your servant our father is still alive and well." And they bowed low to pay him honor.
- As he looked about and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother's son, he asked, "Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?" And he said, "God be gracious to you, my son."
- Deeply moved at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept there.
