He cried, “Make everyone go out from me.” So no one stayed with him when ^eJoseph ^fmade himself known to his brothers. 2 And he ^gwept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it. 3 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.
