Genesis 45:8 in Context — Genesis 45
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.
9 Apressai-vos, ide a meu pai e dizei-lhe: Assim diz teu filho José: Deus me pôs por senhor de todo Egito; vem a mim, não te detenhas:
10 E habitarás na terra de Gósen, e estarás perto de mim, tu e teus filhos, e os filhos de teus filhos, teus gados e tuas vacas, e tudo o que tens.
