4Then JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brothersH251, “PleaseH4994 comeH5066 1closerH5066 to me.” And they cameH5066 2closerH5066. And he saidH559, “I am your brotherH251 JosephH3130, whomH834 you 3soldH4376 to EgyptH4714.
5NowH6258 do not be grievedH6087 or angryH2734 4with yourselvesH5869 becauseH3588 5you soldH4376 me hereH2008, for 6GodH430 sentH7971 me aheadH6440 of you 7to saveH4241 livesH4241.
6For the famineH7458 has been in the landH776 8theseH2088 two yearsH8141, and there are stillH5750 fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in whichH834 thereH369 willH369 beH369 neitherH369 plowingH2758 norH369 harvestingH7105.
