The .xlv. Chapter.
And Joseph could no longer refrain before all them that stood about him / but commanded that they should goo all out from him / and that there should be no man with him / while he uttered him self unto his brethren. And he wept aloud / so that the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard it. And he said unto his brethren: I am Joseph: doth my father yet live? But his brethren could not answer him / for they were abashed at his presence.
ANd Joseph coude no longer refrayne before all them that stode aboute him / but commaunded that they shuld goo all out from him / and that there shuld be no man with him / whyle he vt•red him selfe vnto his brethern. And he wepte alowde / so that the Egiptians and the house of Pharao herde it. And he sayde vnto his brethern: I am Joseph: doth my father yet lyue? But his brethern coude not answere him / for they were abasshed at his presence.
And Joseph said unto his brethren: come near to me / and they came near. And he ⟨image 77⟩said: I am Joseph your brother whom ye sold in to Egypt. And now be not grieved therewith / nether let it seem a cruel thing in your eyes / that ye sold me hither. For God did send me before you to save life. For this is the second year of dearth in the land / and five moo are behind in which there shall nether be earing nor harvest.
