5 Now do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.8 So now it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
