Genesis 45:1-3

International Standard Version

Joseph Reveals Himself

45 At this point, Joseph could not control his emotions any longer, so he cried out to everyone who was standing nearby, “Everybody! Leave me!” As a result, none of his staff^[a] was anywhere near^[b] him when he revealed himself to his brothers. ² He cried so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, including Pharaoh’s household.

³ Joseph blurted out, “I’m Joseph! Is my father really alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, because they had become terrified^[c] to be in his presence.
