Genesis 45:5-8 And now, you must not grieve, and it must not be hot in your eyes, that you sell me hither, for to preserve life the Elohim sends me before you.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And now, you must not grieve, and it must not be hot in your eyes, that you sell me hither, for to preserve life the Elohim sends me before you. ⁶ For this two years the famine is within the land, and there are still five years in which there is no plowing or harvesting. ⁷ And sending me is the Elohim before you to constitute you a remnant in the earth and to preserve your lives for a great deliverance. ⁸ And now, not you send me hither, for it was the Elohim. And constituting me is He a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his household, and ruler in all the land of Egypt.
