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
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, Joseph, who had risen to a position of power in Egypt after being sold into slavery by his brothers, was now hosting his siblings during a severe famine that affected the region. The Egyptians had strict cultural and religious customs that forbade them from sharing meals with foreigners like the Hebrews, whom they viewed as ritually unclean, considering such interactions an abomination. This separation at the meal reflects the broader social and ethnic divides in ancient Egypt, highlighting the challenges Joseph faced in bridging his two worlds.
