SEV Biblia, Chapter 43:33

Y se sentaron delante de él, el mayor conforme a su mayoría, y el menor conforme a su menoría; y estaban aquellos hombres atónitos mirándose el uno al otro.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 43:33

Verse 33. The first-born according to his birthright] This must greatly astonish these brethren, to find themselves treated with so much ceremony, and at the same time with so much discernment of their respective ages.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 26-34 - Observe the great respect Joseph's brethren paid to him. Thus wer Joseph's dreams more and more fulfilled. Joseph showed great kindnes to them. He treated them nobly; but see here the early distance betwee Jews and gentiles. In a day of famine, it is enough to be fed; but the were feasted. Their cares and fears were now over, and they ate their bread with joy, reckoning they were upon good terms with the lord of the land. If God accept our works, our present, we have reason to be cheerful. Joseph showed special regard for Benjamin, that he might tr whether his brethren would envy him. It must be our rule, to be conten with what we have, and not to grieve at what others have. Thus Jesu shows those whom he loves, more and more of their need. He makes the see that he is their only refuge from destruction. He overcomes their unwillingness, and brings them to himself. Then, as he sees good, he gives them some taste of his love, and welcomes them to the provision of his house, as an earnest of what he further intends for them __________________________________________________________________
