Genesis 45:5-11
5And nowH6258, do notH408 be distressedH6087H408 or angryH2734 with yourselvesH5869 thatH3588 you soldH4376 meH853 into this placeH2008, becauseH3588 it was to save livesH4241 that GodH430 sent meH7971 before youH6440. 6ForH3588 the famineH7458 has coveredH7130 the landH776 theseH2088 two yearsH8141, and there will be fiveH2568 moreH5750 yearsH8141 withoutH369 plowingH2758 or harvestingH7105. 7GodH430 sent meH7971 before youH6440 to preserveH7760 you as a remnantH7611 on the earthH776 and to save your livesH2421 by a greatH1419 deliveranceH6413.1 8ThereforeH6258 it was notH3808 youH859 who sentH7971 meH853 hereH2008, butH3588 GodH430, who has made meH7760 a fatherH1 to PharaohH6547—lordH113 of allH3605 his householdH1004 and rulerH4910 over allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
9Now returnH5927 quicklyH4116 toH413 my fatherH1 and tellH559 himH413, ‘This is whatH3541 your sonH1121 JosephH3130 saysH559: GodH430 has made meH7760 lordH113 of allH3605 EgyptH4714. Come downH3381 to meH413 withoutH408 delayH5975. 10You shall settleH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657 and beH1961 near meH7138H413—youH859 and your childrenH1121 and grandchildrenH1121, your flocksH6629 and herdsH1241, and everything you ownH3605. 11And thereH8033 I will provideH3557 for youH853, becauseH3588 there will be fiveH2568 moreH5750 yearsH8141 of famineH7458. OtherwiseH6435, youH859 and your householdH1004 and everythingH3605 you own will come to destitutionH3423.’
