This means that Joseph, the brothers, and the other [Egypt](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/egypt)ians are eating in three different places within the same room. AT: "The servants served Joseph by himself and the brothers by themselves and the [Egypt](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/egypt)ians, who were eating with him, by themselves"

# because the [Egypt](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/egypt)ians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is detestable to the [Egypt](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/egypt)ians

This can be translated as a new sentence: "They did this because the [Egypt](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/egypt)ians thought it was shameful to eat with the Hebrews"
