New American Standard Bible 1995

Genesis 45:5-8

5Now do not be grieved or angry 1with yourselves, because 2you sold me here, for 3God sent me before you to preserve life.

6For the famine has been in the land 4these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

7 5God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great 6deliverance.

8Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a 7father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
