Genesis 45:5-8

⁵And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.

⁶For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.

⁷God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

⁸Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh —lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

— Genesis 45:5-8
