Genesis 45:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 For the famine has been in the land (A)these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 So (B)God sent me ahead of you to ensure for you a remnant on the earth, and to [a]keep you alive by a great deliverance. 8 Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a (C)father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
