Genesis 45:2 in Context — Genesis 45

1 Joseph ne pouvait plus se contenir devant tous ceux qui l’entouraient. Il s’écria: Faites sortir tout le monde. Et il ne resta personne avec Joseph, quand il se fit connaître à ses frères.

2 Il éleva la voix, en pleurant. Les Égyptiens l’entendirent, et la maison de Pharaon l’entendit.

3 Joseph dit à ses frères: Je suis Joseph! Mon père vit-il encore? Mais ses frères ne purent lui répondre, car ils étaient troublés en sa présence.

4 Joseph dit à ses frères: Approchez-vous de moi. Et ils s’approchèrent. Il dit: Je suis Joseph, votre frère, que vous avez vendu pour être mené en Égypte.
