Genesis 45:5 Context
3And Ioseph said vnto his brethren, I am Ioseph; Doeth my father yet liue? and his brethren could not answere him: for they were troubled at his presence. 4And Ioseph said vnto his brethren, Come neere to me, I pray you: and they came neere; and he said, I am Ioseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5Now therefore bee not grieued, nor angry with your selues, that yee sold me hither: for God did send me before you, to preserue life. 6For these two yeeres hath the famine bene in the land: and yet there are fiue yeeres, in the which there shall neither be earing nor haruest. 7And God sent me before you, to preserue you a posteritie in the earth, and to saue your liues by a great deliuerance.
