4 And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, ^awhom you sold into Egypt.

5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; ^afor God sent me before you to preserve life.

6 For these two years the ^afamine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

7 And God ^asent me before you to preserve a¹ posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but ^aGod; and He has made me ^ba father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ^cruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

9 “Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph: “God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not¹ tarry.
