4 And Joseph will say to his brethren, Come near now to me: and they will come near, and he will say, I am Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold me into Egypt. 5 And now, ye shall not be grieved, and it shall not burn in your eyes, because ye sold me here: for God sent me before you for the preservation of life. 6 For this the second year of the famine in the midst of the land: and yet five years in which no ploughing and reaping. 7 And God will send me before you to put for you a remnant upon the earth, and to preserve life for you by a great deliverance. 8 And now not you sent me here, but God: and he placed me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
