Genesis 43:16 (Amplified Bible)

And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Bring the men into the house and kill an animal and make ready, for the men will dine with me at noon.

Genesis 43:16 (King James Version)

A. Governor Joseph saw Benjamin instructing the steward of his house

"And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house,"

Joseph or "yoseph" in Hebrew meaning: let him add.

Benjamin or "binyamiyn" in Hebrew meaning: son of my right hand.

The ALEPH-TAV Signature of the LORD JESUS CHRIST was placed after the word "saw" giving the word "saw" a new meaning, taking it from the Hebrew word "raah" meaning: to see, advise self, appear, approve, behold, certainly, consider, discern, have experience, gaze, take heed, perceive, present, provide, regard. Our eyes must be focus on the LORD JESUS when we see or saw. Our eyes must be fixed on the LORD JESUS.

Hebrews 12:2 (New International Version)

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Titus 2:13 (Amplified Bible)

Awaiting and looking for the [fulfillment, the realization of our] blessed hope, even the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One),

Philippians 3:20 (Amplified Bible)

But we are citizens of the state (commonwealth, homeland) which is in heaven, and from it also we earnestly and patiently await [the coming of] the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) [as] Savior,

Our eyes must be use to glorify GOD, and our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Before we use it to "lust" for other things now our joy and delight is JESUS.

1 John 2:16 (Amplified Bible)

For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].

Psalms 37:4 (Amplified Bible)

Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.

You see Joseph is an answered prayer, Jacob prayed for another son, and GOD gave him two sons, in the persons of Manasseh and Ephraim. That's why Joseph became Jacob's favorite, as his right hand, while Benjamin his younger brother became like the son of Joseph. Benjamin today symbolizes us, the Gentiles as Benjamites, we are considered the adopted sons (grafted branches) of GOD, (the Jews as natural branches (natural sons) because JESUS came from the Jews), we became the son of the right hand when we accepted JESUS.
