New American Bible (Revised Edition)

Egyptians may not eat with Hebrews; that is abhorrent to them. 33 When they were seated before him according to their age, from the oldest to the youngest, they looked at one another in amazement; 34 and as portions were brought to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as large as[b] anyone else’s. So they drank freely and made merry with him.

Footnotes

  1. 43:32 Separately to him: that Joseph did not eat with the other Egyptians was apparently a matter of rank.
  2. 43:34 Five times as large as: probably an idiomatic expression for “much larger than.” Cf. 45:22.
