5. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves that ye sold me here, for God sent me before you for life.
6. For these two years the famine has been in the land, and yet there are five years in which there shall neither be plowing nor harvest.
7. And God sent me before you that you might remain in the earth and that you might be given life by great liberty.
8. So now it was not you that sent me here, but God; and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
9. Make haste and go up to my father and say unto him: Thus saith thy son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down unto me, tarry not.
