Genesis 45:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Now don’t be ·worried [in anguish; distressed] or angry with yourselves because you sold me here. God sent me here ahead of you to ·save [preserve] people’s lives. ⁶ ·No food has grown on the land [^LThe famine has been in the land] for two years now, and there will be five more years without ·planting [^Lplowing] or harvest. ⁷ So God sent me here ahead of you to ·make sure you have some descendants left [^Lpreserve a remnant for you] on earth and to keep you alive in ·an amazing way [^La great deliverance].
