Genesis:45:4-8
rsv@Genesis:45:4 @ So Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, I pray you." And they came near. And he said, "I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
rsv@Genesis:45:5 @ And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.
rsv@Genesis:45:6 @ For the famine has been in the land these two years; and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
rsv@Genesis:45:7 @ And God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors.
rsv@Genesis:45:8 @ So it was not you who sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
