Genesis 45:1-4
Joseph Deals Kindly with His Brothers
1 Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, “Have everyone go out from me.” So there (a)was no man with him (A)when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2 (B)He (b)wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard of it.
3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “(C)I am Joseph! (D)Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for (E)they were dismayed at his presence.
