Genesis 45:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

45 Joseph was unable to control himself in front of all his attendants, so he called out, “Send everyone out from my presence!” When no one else was left with him, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers. ² He wept out loud. The Egyptians heard him, and the house of Pharaoh heard about it. ³ Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?”

His brothers could not answer him, because they were terrified by his presence.
