4 Then Joseph (YHWH has added) said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your⁺ brother,” he said, “the one you⁺ sold into Egypt (land of bondage)!

5 And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you⁺ sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God {Elohim} sent me before you⁺.

6 For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.

7 God {Elohim} sent me before you⁺ to preserve you⁺ as a remnant on the earth and to save your⁺ lives by a great deliverance.
