Genesis 45:4-7

4And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come closer to me.” And they approached him. And he said, “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

5Now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to save life and preserve our family.

6For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are still five more years in which there will be no plowing and harvesting.

7God sent me [to Egypt] ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to keep you alive by a great escape.
