4 And Joseph says to his brothers, “Please come near to me,” and they come near; and he says, “I [am] your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt; 5 and now, do not be grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that you sold me here, for God has sent me before you to preserve life. 6 Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of the land, and yet five years [remain in] which there is neither plowing nor harvest; 7 and God sends me before you, to place a remnant of you in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape; 8 and now, you have not sent me here, but God, and He sets me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
