Genesis 45:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Then Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph: doth my father yet live? But his brethren could not answer him, for they were astonished at his presence.
4 Again, Joseph said to his brethren, Come near, I pray you, to me. And they came near. And he said, (A)I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
5 Now therefore be not [a]sad, neither grieved with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: (B)For God did send me before you for your preservation.
