Genesis 43:34

He gave them portions of the food set before him, ¹  but the portion for Benjamin was five times greater than the portions for any of the others. They drank with Joseph until they all became drunk. ² 

Ge 45:22; 1Sa 1:5; 1Sa 9:22-24; 2Sa 11:8; Pr 31:6; Ec 9:7; Ec 10:19; So 5:1; Hab 1:6; Mt 11:19; Joh 2:10

¹ tn Heb “and he lifted up portions from before his face to them.”

² tn Heb “and they drank and were intoxicated with him” (cf. NIV “drank freely with him”; NEB “grew merry”; NRSV “were merry”). The brothers were apparently relaxed and set at ease, despite Joseph’s obvious favoritism toward Benjamin.
