Genesis 45:6 in Context — Genesis 45
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.
7 E Deus me enviou adiante de vós, para que vós restásseis na terra, e para vos dar vida por meio de grande salvamento.
8 Assim, pois, não me enviastes vós aqui, mas sim Deus, que me pôs por pai de Faraó, e por senhor de toda sua casa, e por governador de toda a terra do Egito.
