GOD MEANS IT FOR GOOD
PART XXXVIII
"We, the eleven sons of Jacob, are quite ready for lunch... We are not really sure what kind of food we will be offered... Since we are having lunch at the home of the official in charge of the grain distribution here in Egypt...However, it has been a long time since we had our breakfast... So we will be happy to eat whatever is put before us....And we better not show any dislike for any of the dishes offered to us... No doubt, the official would learn about it.... Even though he is seated separately from us... And he would be very displeased with us... We have noticed one very unusual thing... Each one of us was seated by a servant.... And we were all seated in accordance with our ages... It seemed someone knew exactly who is the oldest in the family and who is the youngest.... We are quite perplexed about our seating arrangement.... For how could anyone know these intimate details about our family?.. We have talked with the official about our family... But we have never disclosed to him who is the eldest....He only knows who is the youngest."... Please read the typed out attachment when you will learn that the eleven brothers find themselves seated for lunch at the house of the "Egyptian" official in charge of the grain distribution in perfect order according to their ages....

GOD MEANS IT FOR GOOD
PART XXXVIII
The "Egyptian" official in charge of the grain distribution is seated at the table prepared for him. His guests, the sons of Jacob, including Benjamin, who have travelled all the way from Canaan to Egypt to buy grain, are seated at the table prepared for them as you can read in Genesis 43:33
The men had been seated before him in the order of their ages, from the first born to the youngest: and they looked at each other in astonishment.
As the servants direct each of the sons of Jacob to their seats, it seems they know who is the oldest and who is the youngest.
