Genesis 45:7 in Context — Genesis 45
5 Maintenant, ne vous affligez pas, et ne soyez pas fâchés de m’avoir vendu pour être conduit ici, car c’est pour vous sauver la vie que Dieu m’a envoyé devant vous.
6 Voilà deux ans que la famine est dans le pays; et pendant cinq années encore, il n’y aura ni labour, ni moisson.
7 Dieu m’a envoyé devant vous pour vous faire subsister dans le pays, et pour vous faire vivre par une grande délivrance.
8 Ce n’est donc pas vous qui m’avez envoyé ici, mais c’est Dieu; il m’a établi père de Pharaon, maître de toute sa maison, et gouverneur de tout le pays d’Égypte.
9 Hâtez-vous de remonter auprès de mon père, et vous lui direz: Ainsi a parlé ton fils Joseph: Dieu m’a établi seigneur de toute l’Égypte; descends vers moi, ne tarde pas!
