Genesis 45:8 in Context — Genesis 45
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.
7 Y Dios me envió delante de vosotros, para que vosotros quedaseis en la tierra, y para daros vida por medio de grande salvamento.
8 Así pues, no me enviasteis vosotros acá, sino Dios, que me ha puesto por padre de Faraón, y por señor de toda su casa, y por gobernador en toda la tierra de Egipto.
9 Daos priesa, id á mi padre y decidle: Así dice tu hijo José: Dios me ha puesto por señor de todo Egipto; ven á mí, no te detengas:
10 Y habitarás en la tierra de Gosén, y estarás cerca de mí, tú y tus hijos, y los hijos de tus hijos, tus ganados y tus vacas, y todo lo que tienes.
