Joseph and his brothers are able to eat alone “because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is loathsome to the Egyptians.”

This is not really related to the passage but it was the question raised in my mind: is there anyone I am unwilling to eat with? If there was a potluck after church is there any table I would be willing to sit down at? At work if we all went out to lunch together is there anyone i would be unwilling to sit next to? Are there people in my life I despise so much that I can not eat a meal with them? I think these are good questions to periodically ask myself.
