Genesis:45:5-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now therefore be not grieved ,
nor angry with yourselves ,
that ye sold me hither :
for God did send me before you to preserve life .
*
For these two years hath the famine been in the land :
and yet there are five years ,
in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest .
*
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth ,
and to save your lives by a great deliverance .
*
So now it was not you that sent me hither ,
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 .
*
Haste ye ,
and go up to my father ,
and say unto him ,
Thus saith thy son Joseph ,
God hath made me lord of all Egypt :
come down unto me ,
tarry not :
*
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen ,
and thou shalt be near unto me ,
thou ,
and thy children ,
and thy children '
s children ,
and thy flocks ,
and thy herds ,
and all that thou hast :
*
And there will I nourish thee ;
for yet there are five years of famine ;
lest thou ,
and thy household ,
and all that thou hast ,
come to poverty .
