Genesis 45:5-8

5Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me here: for God sent me before you to preserve life.1

6For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in which there shall neither be tillage nor harvest.

7And God sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.2

8So now it was not you that sent me here, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
