1 Non se poterat ultra cohibere Ioseph multis coram astantibus: unde praecepit ut egrederentur cuncti foras, et nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuae.
And Ioseph 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 vttred him selfe vnto his brethern.
2 Elevavitque vocem cum fletu: quam audierunt Aegyptii, omnisque domus Pharaonis.

3 Et dixit fratribus suis: Ego sum Ioseph: adhuc pater meus vivit? Non poterant respondere fratres nimio terrore perterriti.
And he sayde vnto his brethern: I am Ioseph: doth my father yet lyue? But his brethern coude not answere him for they were abasshed at his presence.
4 Ad quos ille clementer: Accedite, inquit, ad me. Et cum accessissent prope, Ego sum, ait, Ioseph, frater vester, quem vendidistis in Aegyptum.
And Ioseph sayde vnto his brethern: come nere to me and they came nere. And he sayde: I am Ioseph youre brother whom ye sold in to Egipte.

And now be not greued therwith nether let it seme a cruel thinge in youre eyes that ye solde me hither. For God dyd send me before you to saue lyfe.

So now it was not ye that sent me hither but God: and he hath made me father vnto Pharao and lorde ouer all his house and rueler in all the land of Egipte.
