Genesis 45:4 in Context — Genesis 45
2 Entonces se dió á llorar á voz en grito; y oyeron los Egipcios, y oyó también la casa de Faraón.
3 Y dijo José á sus hermanos: Yo soy José: ¿vive aún mi padre? Y sus hermanos no pudieron responderle, porque estaban turbados delante de él.
4 Entonces dijo José á sus hermanos: Llegaos ahora á mí. Y ellos se llegaron. Y él dijo: Yo soy José vuestro hermano el que vendisteis para Egipto.
5 Ahora pues, no os entristezcáis, ni os pese de haberme vendido acá; que para preservación de vida me envió Dios delante de vosotros:
6 Que ya ha habido dos años de hambre en medio de la tierra, y aun quedan cinco años en que ni habrá arada ni siega.
