And Joseph said unto his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
All Commentaries on Genesis 45:4 Go To Genesis 45
John Chrysostom
AD 407
“Don’t be hard on yourselves; don’t think,” Joseph says, “that you did these things to me out of your intent. It was not so much from your malice in my regard as from God’s wisdom and ineffable love that I should come here and now be in a favorable position to provide nourishment to you and the whole country.”
