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.

4 And Joseph said to his brothers, Please come near to me. So they came near. And he said: I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry in your eyes because you sold me here; for God has sent me before you to preserve life.
