Nowe therefore be not sad, neither grieued with your selues, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you for your preseruation.
6 biennium est quod fames esse coepit in terra et adhuc quinque anni restant quibus nec arari poterit nec meti

7 praemisitque me Deus ut reservemini super terram et escas ad vivendum habere possitis

8 non vestro consilio sed Dei huc voluntate missus sum qui fecit me quasi patrem Pharaonis et dominum universae domus eius ac principem in omni terra Aegypti
Now the you sent not me hither, but God, who hath made mee a father vnto Pharaoh, and lorde of all his house, and ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
