Genesis 45:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ But do not be grieved and do not be angry with yourselves for having sold me down here, for God sent me here before you to save your lives. ⁶ The famine has already lasted two years in the land, and there are another five years in which there will be neither plowing not reaping. ⁷ God sent me here before you, to preserve a remnant for you on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
