Genesis 45:5-8 ▼

5 Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to save lives.

6 For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

7 So God sent me ahead of you to ensure for you a remnant on the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

8 Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
