Genesis 45:8 in Context — Genesis 45
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!
10 Tu habiteras dans le pays de Gosen, et tu seras près de moi, toi, tes fils, et les fils de tes fils, tes brebis et tes bœufs, et tout ce qui est à toi.
