Genesis 45:4-7
4Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come 1closer to me.” And they came 2closer. And he said, “I am your brother Joseph, whom you 3sold to Egypt.
5Now do not be grieved or angry 4with yourselves because 5you sold me here, for 6God sent me ahead of you 7to save lives.
6For the famine has been in the land 8these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.
7So 9God sent me ahead of you to ensure for you a remnant on the earth, and to 10keep you alive by a great deliverance.
