And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
Ellos respondieron: 'Tu siervo nuestro padre está bien y aún vive.' Entonces inclinaron sus cabezas y se postraron.
Los hermanos confirmaron que su padre estaba bien y mostraron respeto inclinándose ante José.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Genesis, this verse occurs during a severe famine in Canaan, where Jacob's sons are forced to return to Egypt to buy more grain after their first visit. Unbeknownst to them, they are speaking to their long-lost brother Joseph, who has become a powerful ruler in Egypt and is testing their character. Their act of bowing down reflects the cultural customs of the ancient Near East, where such gestures showed respect and submission to authority, and it echoes Joseph's earlier dreams of his family bowing before him.
