Genesis 45:5-8

5But do not be upset. Do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me like that. No! It was God who sent me here! He sent me here before you came. He did that so that I could save people's lives.

6There has been a famine for two years already. No food will grow for another five years.

7But God sent me to come here before you. Because of that, your family would stay alive. God would do a great thing to save you and your descendants.

8So you did not really send me here. It was God who did that! He made me Pharaoh's most important officer, as if I am his father. I take care of everything in Pharaoh's palace. I have authority to rule over all of Egypt.
