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. Genesis 45:5-8, Catholic Public Domain Version.
