When at last Israel agreed to let Benjamin [his youngest son] go with his brothers down to Egypt. He said to them, "If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift-- a little balm and a little honey, some spices and myrrh, some pistachio nuts and almonds. Take double the amount of silver with you, for you must return the silver that was put back into the mouths of your sacks. Perhaps it was a mistake. Take your brother also and go back to the man at once. And may God Almighty grant you mercy before the man so that he will let your other brother [Simeon] and Benjamin come back with you. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved." So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver, and Benjamin also. They hurried down to Egypt and presented themselves to Joseph. When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, "Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare dinner; they are to eat with me at noon." What did Joseph do in regards to dinner that amazed his brothers: (Pick One)
1.) He had the brothers seated before him in the order of their ages, from the firstborn to the youngest.
2.) He served them a “Passover Lamb”.
3.) He gave Judah five times as much as the other brothers.
