4 And Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they came near, and he said, “I am Joseph your⁺ brother, whom you⁺ sold into Egypt. 5 And now, do not be grieved and let it not burn in your⁺ eyes that you⁺ sold me here, for to preserve life God sent me before you⁺. 6 For these two years the famine has been in the midst of the earth, and there are still five years in which there is no plowing and harvesting. 7 And God sent me before you⁺ to make for you⁺ a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you⁺ by a great deliverance. 8 And now, you⁺ have not sent me here, but God. And He has made me for a father to Pharaoh, and for a lord of all his house, and ruler in all the land of Egypt. Genesis 45:4-8, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
