Genesis 45:6 CPDV

⁴  And he said to them mildly, 'Approach toward me.' And when they had approached close by, he said: 'I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

⁵  Do not be afraid, and let it not seem to you to be a hardship that you sold me into these regions. For God sent me before you into Egypt for your salvation.

⁶  For it is two years since the famine began to be upon the land, and five years more remain, in which there can be neither plowing, nor reaping.

⁷  And God sent me ahead, so that you may be preserved upon the earth, and so that you would be able to have food in order to live.

⁸  I was sent here, not by your counsel, but by the will of God. He has caused me to be like a father to Pharaoh, and to be the lord of his entire house, as well as governor throughout all the land of Egypt.
