Genesis 45

5 And now don’t be grieved or angry with yourselves for selling me here, because God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.  * 45:5 Gn 45:7–8; 50:20; Ps 105:176 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting. 7 God sent me ahead of you to establish you as a remnant within the land and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.  * 45:7 Or keep alive for you many survivors8 Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
