"He washed his face, and came out. He controlled himself, and said, "Serve the meal.""
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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.
