Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were terrified in his presence.Then Joseph said to his brothers,“ Please come closer to me.” And they came closer. And he said,“ I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold to Egypt.Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to save lives.
