5 But don’t be worried or get angry with yourselves that you sold me to be a slave here, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to save lives. 6 The country has suffered from famine for two years already, but there will be five more years with no plowing or reaping. 7 God sent me ahead of you to make sure you would still have descendants, to save your lives in this miraculous way.45:7. "In this miraculous way": or "with many survivors." 8 So it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God. He was the one who made me Pharaoh’s chief advisor45:8. "Pharaoh’s chief advisor": literally, "a father to Pharaoh." in charge of all his affairs, and ruler of the whole country of Egypt.
