Genesis 43:23-28

Genesis 43:23-28 MSG

The steward said, “Everything’s in order. Don’t worry. Your God and the God of your father must have given you a bonus. I was paid in full.” And with that, he presented Simeon to them. He then took them inside Joseph’s house and made them comfortable—gave them water to wash their feet and saw to the feeding of their donkeys. The brothers spread out their gifts as they waited for Joseph to show up at noon—they had been told that they were to have dinner with him. When Joseph got home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought and bowed respectfully before him. Joseph welcomed them and said, “And your old father whom you mentioned to me, how is he? Is he still alive?” They said, “Yes—your servant our father is quite well, very much alive.” And they again bowed respectfully before him.
