Genesis 45:4-8

45:4

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

Come near
<05066> (8798)

to me, I pray you. And they came near
<05066> (8799)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] Joseph
<03130>

your brother
<0251>_,

whom ye sold
<04376> (8804)

into Egypt
<04714>_.

45:5

Now therefore be not grieved
<06087> (8735)_,

nor angry
<02734> (8799)

with yourselves
<05869>_,

that ye sold
<04376> (8804)

me hither: for God
<0430>

did send
<07971> (8804)

me before you
<06440>

to preserve life
<04241>_.

{nor...: Heb. neither let there be anger in your eyes}

45:6

For these two years
<08141>

[hath] the famine
<07458>

[been] in
<07130>

the land
<0776>_:

and yet [there are] five
<02568>

years
<08141>_,

in the which [there shall] neither
<0369>

[be] earing
<02758>

nor harvest
<07105>_.

45:7

And God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

me before you
<06440>

to preserve
<07760> (8800)

you a posterity
<07611>

in the earth
<0776>_,

and to save your lives
<02421> (8687)

by a great
<01419>

deliverance
<06413>_.

{to preserve...: Heb. to put for you a remnant}

45:8

So now [it was] not you [that] sent
<07971> (8804)

me hither, but God
<0430>_:

and he hath made
<07760> (8799)

me a father
<01>

to Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and lord
<0113>

of all his house
<01004>_,

and a ruler
<04910> (8802)

throughout all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.
