Genesis 45:5-8 “But don’t be distressed or angry at yourselves because you sold me here, because God sent me ahead of you all in order to deliver us.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ “But don’t be distressed or angry at yourselves because you sold me here, because God sent me ahead of you all in order to deliver us. ⁶ That’s because this famine has been going on for two years now in this region, and there are still five years left, during which there won’t be any plowing or harvesting. ⁷ God sent me ahead of you to keep you alive on the earth, and to save you all in a magnificent way. ⁸ As a result, it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God himself! He established me as a father-figure to Pharaoh himself! I’m in charge of his entire palace and ruler over the entire land of Egypt.
