창세기(Gen.) 43:25 - 창세기(Gen.) 43:34

25	그들이 거기서 음식을 먹겠다 함을 들었으므로 예물을 정돈하고 요셉이 정오에 오기를 기다리더니
26	요셉이 집으로 오매 그들이 집으로 들어가서 예물을 그에게 드리고 땅에 엎드려 절하니
27	요셉이 그들의 안부를 물으며 이르되 너희 아버지 너희가 말하던 그 노인이 안녕하시냐 아직도 생존해 계시느냐
28	그들이 대답하되 주의 종 우리 아버지가 평안하고 지금까지 생존하였나이다 하고 머리 숙여 절하더라
29	요셉이 눈을 들어 자기 어머니의 아들 자기 동생 베냐민을 보고 이르되 너희가 내게 말하던 너희 작은 동생이 이 아이냐 그가 또 이르되 소자여 하나님이 네게 은혜 베푸시기를 원하노라
30	요셉이 아우를 사랑하는 마음이 복받쳐 급히 울 곳을 찾아 안방으로 들어가서 울고
31	얼굴을 씻고 나와서 그 정을 억제하고 음식을 차리라 하매
32	그들이 요셉에게 따로 차리고 그 형제들에게 따로 차리고 그와 함께 먹는 애굽 사람에게도 따로 차리니 애굽 사람은 히브리 사람과 같이 먹으면 부정을 입음이었더라
33	그들이 요셉 앞에 앉되 그들의 나이에 따라 앉히게 되니 그들이 서로 이상히 여겼더라
34	요셉이 자기 음식을 그들에게 주되 베냐민에게는 다른 사람보다 다섯 배나 주매 그들이 마시며 요셉과 함께 즐거워하였더라

Genesis 43:25–34 (Listen)

25 they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they should eat bread there.

26 When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground. 27 And he inquired about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” 28 They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves. 29 And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!” 30 Then Joseph hurried out, for his compassion grew warm for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and wept there. 31 Then he washed his face and came out. And controlling 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 an 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 Portions were taken to them from Joseph’s table, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank and were merry¹ with him.
