Parallels

  • Gen.45.3 (verbal): Immediate continuation of the same scene — Joseph declares “I am Joseph” after sending everyone out; direct verbal disclosure of identity and the climax of his inability to contain emotion.
  • Gen.46.29-30 (thematic): Joseph publicly reveals himself anew to his father Jacob, falls on his neck and weeps — another intense family recognition/reunion scene that continues the reconciliation begun in 45:1.
  • Gen.50.15-21 (thematic): After Jacob’s death the brothers fear revenge, and Joseph reassures them and explains God’s providence — develops the theme of disclosure leading to forgiveness and restoration initiated when Joseph first revealed himself.
  • Gen.37.31-35 (structural): The earlier episode where the brothers present Joseph’s bloodied coat and Jacob mourns establishes the emotional stakes and narrative contrast to the later revelation in 45:1 — loss, mistaken identity, and eventual recognition.
  • 1 Sam.20.41-42 (thematic): David and Jonathan’s private, tearful farewell — like Joseph’s insistence on privacy, this is a patterned biblical motif of ordering others away for an intimate emotional disclosure and affirmation of relationship.

Alternative generated candidates

  • And Joseph could not restrain himself before all who stood by him, and he cried, Put every man out from me! And no man stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

Parallels

  • Gen.42.24 (verbal): Joseph weeps earlier after sending his brothers away — similar verbal motif (he turned about and wept), showing recurrent episodes of Joseph's private/emotional weeping.
  • Gen.43.30 (verbal): When Joseph first sees Benjamin he 'sought where to weep' and wept in his chamber — another instance of Joseph's intense emotional response on seeing his brothers, paralleling the audible weeping in 45:2.
  • Gen.45.14 (structural): Immediately after 45:2 Joseph falls on Benjamin's neck and weeps; this continuation repeats the public display of emotion and its reconciliation function within the narrative.
  • Gen.37.34 (thematic): Jacob's loud, prolonged mourning for 'Joseph' (tearing his clothes and refusing to be comforted) parallels the theme of family lament and public manifestation of grief in the Joseph story.
  • 2 Sam.18.33 (thematic): David's passionate, public lament for Absalom ('O my son Absalom...') is a comparable instance of loud, hearable weeping that moves bystanders and marks a pivotal emotional moment in a family/political crisis.

Alternative generated candidates

  • And he raised his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
  • And he lifted up his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph. Is my father still alive? But his brothers were not able to answer him, for they were dismayed before him.

Parallels

  • Gen.45.4 (structural): Immediate narrative parallel — the continuation of Joseph’s self‑revelation (he commands them to come near and begins to explain, placing v.3 within the larger reveal and reconciliation scene).
  • Gen.44.16 (thematic): Earlier scene of the brothers’ inability to answer — when Judah pleads before the Egyptian (v.16) the brothers likewise are speechless from fear and guilt, prefiguring their reaction when Joseph identifies himself.
  • Judg.6.22–23 (thematic): Gideon’s recognition of the angel of the LORD leads to fear and an expression of impending death; parallels the motif of a startling recognition of a revealed identity producing terror.
  • Luke 24.30–31 (thematic): After a period of concealment Jesus is suddenly recognized by the disciples and they are astonished; thematically parallels a hidden identity disclosed and the emotional, disorienting reaction of those who recognize him.
  • John 20.16–17 (thematic): Mary’s sudden recognition of the risen Jesus and her emotional response echoes the shock and intense affect that accompany a surprising revelation of identity (cf. Joseph’s brothers’ fear and inability to answer).

Alternative generated candidates

  • And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph; is my father still alive? And his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.

4 And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, please. And they came near, and he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

Parallels

But his brothers were not able to answer him, for they were dismayed before him. And Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, please.

And you shall tell my father all my honor in Egypt, and all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring down my father here.

And take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land. And you are commanded: Do this—take for yourselves from the land of Egypt wagons for your little ones and for your wives, and carry your father and come. And do not let your eye spare your goods—for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
