Genesis 45:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ “Please come closer to me,” Joseph said to his brothers. When they did so, he said, “I am Joseph, the brother you sold into slavery in Egypt! ⁵ Now, don’t be sad or angry with yourselves that you sold me. God sent me ahead of you to save lives. ⁶ The famine has been in the land for two years. There will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.
