They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians don’t eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૪૩:૩૨
દાસોએ યૂસફને માટે, તેના ભાઈઓને માટે તથા જે મિસરીઓ તેની સાથે જમવાના હતા તેઓને માટે અલગ અલગ ટેબલ પર ભોજન પીરસ્યું. કેમ કે મિસરીઓ હિબ્રૂઓ સાથે જમતા ન હતા, કેમ કે મિસરીઓ તેઓ સાથે અમંગળપણું લાગે છે.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ४३:३२
तब उन्होंने उसके लिये तो अलग, और भाइयों के लिये भी अलग, और जो मिस्री उसके संग खाते थे, उनके लिये भी अलग, भोजन परोसा; इसलिए कि मिस्री इब्रियों के साथ भोजन नहीं कर सकते, वरन् मिस्री ऐसा करना घृणित समझते थे।

In context

30Joseph hurried, for his heart yearned over his brother; and he sought a place to weep. He entered into his room, and wept there.

31He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, “Serve the meal.”

32They served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians don’t eat with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

33They sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men marveled with one another.

34He sent portions to them from before him, but Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as any of theirs. They drank, and were merry with him.
