Genesis 45:4-8, New Living Translation
4 "Come over here," he said. So they came closer. And he said again, "I am Joseph, your brother whom you sold into Egypt.
5 But don't be angry with yourselves that you did this to me, for God did it. He sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.
6 These two years of famine will grow to seven, during which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7 God has sent me here to keep you and your families alive so that you will become a great nation.
8 Yes, it was God who sent me here, not you! And he has made me a counselor to Pharaoh—manager of his entire household and ruler over all Egypt.
