Genesis 45:5-9

6For these two yearsH8141 hath the famineH7458 been inH7130 the landH776: and yet there are fiveH2568 yearsH8141, in which there shall neitherH369 be tillageH2758 nor harvestH7105.

7And GodH430 sentH7971 me before youH6440 to preserveH7760 for you a posterityH7611 in the earthH776, and to save your livesH2421 by a greatH1419 deliveranceH6413.2

8So now it was not you that sentH7971 me here, but GodH430: and he hath madeH7760 me a fatherH1 to PharaohH6547, and lordH113 of all his houseH1004, and a rulerH4910 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
