Genesis 45:5-8 But, now, do not grieve, neither let it be vexing in your eyes, that ye sold me hither,––for, to save life, did God send me before you.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ But, now, do not grieve, neither let it be vexing in your eyes, that ye sold me hither,––for, to save life, did God send me before you. ⁶ For, these two years, hath the famine been in the midst of the land,––and, yet five years, are there, in which there shall be neither ploughing, nor harvest. ⁷ So then God sent, me before you, to plant for you a remainder, in the earth,––and to save you alive, by a great deliverance. ⁸ Now, therefore, it was not, ye, who sent me hither, but, God, himself,––who also appointed me to be a father to Pharaoh, and a lord to all his house, and a ruler, over all the land of Egypt.
