Genesis 45:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ “Now, therefore, do not be sad or angry with yourselves, that you sold me here. For God sent me before you for your preservation.

⁶ “For now, two years of famine have been through the land; and five years are still to come wherein there shall be neither earing nor harvest.

⁷ “Therefore, God sent me before you to preserve your posterity in this land, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
