Amplified Bible
Genesis 45:1-5
1Then Joseph could not control himself [any longer] in front of all those who attended him, and he called out, “Have everyone leave me.” So no man stood there when Joseph revealed himself to his brothers.
2Joseph wept aloud, and the Egyptians [who had just left him] heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard of it.
3Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers were speechless, for they were stunned and dismayed by [the fact that they were in] Joseph’s presence.
4And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me.” And they approached him. And he said, “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5Now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to save life and preserve our family.
