Genesis 45:5-8 And now, be not grieved, and be not angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

Darby⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And now, be not grieved, and be not angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither, for God sent me before you to preserve life. ⁶ For the famine has been these two years in the land; and yet there are five years in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest. ⁷ So God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance. ⁸ And now it was not you [that] sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and governor over all the land of Egypt.
