Genesis 45:3-5
International Standard Version
3 Joseph blurted out, “I’m Joseph! Is my father really alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, because they had become terrified[a] to be in his presence.
4 Joseph implored his brothers, “Please come close to me.” So they did.
“I’m your brother Joseph, whom you sold into slavery in[b] Egypt!” he told them. 5 “But[c] don’t be distressed or angry at yourselves because you sold me here, because God sent me ahead of you all in order to deliver us.[d]
