³ Then Joseph said to his brothers, “^(A)I am Joseph! ^(B)Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for ^(C)they were dismayed at his presence.

⁴ Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come ^[a]closer to me.” And they came ^[b]closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you ^(D)sold into Egypt. ⁵ Now do not be grieved or angry ^[c]with yourselves, because ^(E)you sold me here, for ^(F)God sent me before you to preserve life.
