Genesis 45:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ “But^[a] don’t be distressed or angry at yourselves because you sold me here, because God sent me ahead of you all in order to deliver us.^{[b] 6} That’s because this famine has been going on for two years now in this region, and there are still five years left, during which there won’t be any plowing or harvesting. ⁷ God sent me ahead of you to keep you alive on the earth, and to save you all in a magnificent way.
