Genesis 43:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ When Joseph arrived, they presented to him the gifts that they had with them, and they bowed their faces to the ground before him. ²⁷ He asked them how they were and said, “How is your aged father, the one about whom you have spoken? Is he still alive?”

²⁸ They answered, “Your servant, our father, is well, and he is still alive,” and they knelt and bowed down.
