Genesis 43:31 in Context — Genesis 43

31 Après s’être lavé le visage, il en sortit; et, faisant des efforts pour se contenir, il dit: Servez à manger.

32 On servit Joseph à part, et ses frères à part; les Égyptiens qui mangeaient avec lui furent aussi servis à part, car les Égyptiens ne pouvaient pas manger avec les Hébreux, parce que c’est à leurs yeux une abomination.
