Genesis 45:1-5

1Then Joseph could not control himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brethren.

2And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.1

3And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.2

4And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here: for God sent me before you to preserve life.3
