1 Since Joseph could no longer control his feelings in front of his servants, he sent them out of the room. When he was alone with his brothers, he told them, “I am Joseph.”
2 Then he cried so loudly that the Egyptians heard him and told about it in the king's palace.
3 Joseph asked his brothers if his father was still alive, but they were too frightened to answer.
4 Joseph told them to come closer to him, and when they did, he said:Yes, I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt.
