And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Les sirvieron la comida por separado: una mesa para José solo, una mesa para sus hermanos, y otra mesa para los egipcios que comían con ellos. Esto era porque los egipcios no podían comer con los hebreos, ya que lo consideraban algo repugnante.
Los egipcios no comían con los hebreos porque lo consideraban repugnante, por eso separaron las mesas.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This takes place when Joseph's brothers came to Egypt during the famine, not yet knowing that their brother Joseph had become a powerful Egyptian official. Ancient Egyptians considered themselves culturally superior and had strict social customs about eating with foreigners, especially nomadic peoples like the Hebrews. Joseph had to maintain his Egyptian identity and follow these customs to protect his position and his secret.
