Genesis 45:4 in Context — Genesis 45
2 Então se deu a chorar por voz em grito; e ouviram os egípcios, e ouviu também a casa de Faraó.
3 E disse José a seus irmãos: Eu sou José: vive ainda meu pai? E seus irmãos não puderam lhe responder, porque estavam perturbados diante dele.
4 Então disse José a seus irmãos: Achegai-vos agora a mim. E eles se achegaram. E ele disse: Eu sou José vosso irmão o que vendestes para o Egito.
5 Agora, pois, não vos entristeçais, nem vos pese de haver me vendido aqui; que para preservação de vida me enviou Deus diante de vós:
6 Que já houve dois anos de fome em meio da terra, e ainda restam cinco anos em que nem haverá arada nem colheita.
