Genesis 45:1-5

1Then JosephH3130 couldH3201 not controlH662 himself before all them that stoodH5324 by him; and he criedH7121, CauseH3318 every manH376 to go outH3318 from me. And there stoodH5975 no manH376 with him, while JosephH3130 made himself knownH3045 to his brethrenH251.

2And he weptH6963H1065 aloudH5414: and the EgyptiansH4714 and the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547 heardH8085.1

3And JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brethrenH251, I am JosephH3130; doth my fatherH1 yet liveH2416? And his brethrenH251 couldH3201 not answerH6030 him; for they were terrifiedH926 at his presenceH6440.2

4And JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brethrenH251, Come nearH5066 to me, I pray you. And they came nearH5066. And he saidH559, I am JosephH3130 your brotherH251, whom ye soldH4376 into EgyptH4714.

5Now therefore be not grievedH6087, nor angryH2734 with yourselvesH5869, that ye soldH4376 me here: for GodH430 sentH7971 me before youH6440 to preserve lifeH4241.3
