Genesis 45:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Now therefore be not [a]sad, neither grieved with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: (A)For God did send me before you for your preservation.
6 For now two years of famine have been through the land, and five years are behind, wherein neither shall be earing nor harvest.
7 Wherefore God sent me before you to preserve your posterity in this land, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
