Genesis 45:5-8

English Standard Version

⁵ And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, ^(A)for God sent me before you to preserve life. ⁶ For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are ^(B)yet five years in which there will be neither ^(C)plowing nor harvest. ⁷ And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. ⁸ So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ^(D)ruler over all the land of Egypt.
