25So they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.

      26When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him. 27Then he asked them about their welfare, and said, “Is your old father well, of whom you spoke?
