3 And Joseph said to his brothers, Acts 7:13"I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.
4 So Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." And they came near. And he said, "I am your brother, Joseph, ch. 37:28whom you sold into Egypt. 5 And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, ch. 50:20;Ps. 105:16,17for God sent me before you to preserve life. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. 8 So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ver. 26;ch. 41:43ruler over all the land of Egypt.
