Genesis 43:33

Joseph’s Hospitality to His Brothers

32They separately served Joseph, his brothers, and the Egyptians. They ate separately because the Egyptians would not eat with the Hebrews, since that was detestable to them.33They were seated before Joseph in order by age, from the firstborn to the youngest, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.34When the portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times larger than any of the others. So they feasted and drank freely with Joseph.
