Genesis 45:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
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.
8 Now then you sent not me hither, but [a]God, who hath made me a father unto Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
