And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.
#genesis 45:3 #vayigash
When Joseph asks "Is my father still alive?" it's worded in such a way that could be interpreted as bitter or hopeful.
-Bitter: "Did I miss the last days of his life because of you?"
-Hopeful: "Is there still a chance that I could see him again?"
It could also prophetic: "Judah, do you know that my Father in Heaven yet lives?"
