Genesis 43:31

And he washed his face ,.... From the tears on it, that it might not be discerned that he had been weeping:

and went out ; of his chamber into the room again, where his brethren were:

and refrained himself ; from weeping, or showing any excess of passion, love, joy, &c.;

and said, set on bread ; gave orders to his servants to bring in dinner, and set it upon the table; bread, as before, being put for all kind of food.
