UGenesise 45:1-7

UJosefa wayengenakuzibamba phambi kwabo bonke ababemi ngakuye; wamemeza wathi: “Yilowo nalowo makasuke kimi.” futhi kwakungekho muntu owama ngakuye lapho uJosefa ezazisa kubafowabo. Wakhala ngezwi elikhulu, abaseGibithe nendlu kaFaro bakuzwa. Wayesethi uJosefa kubafowabo: “NginguJosefa; ubaba usaphila nabafowabo behluleka ukumphendula; ngoba babetshaywa luvalo phambi kobuso bakhe. UJosefa wayesethi kubafowabo: “Sondelani kimi.” Base besondela. Wathi: “Ngingumfowenu uJosefa enathengisa ngaye eGibithe.” Manje ningabi lusizi, ningazithukutheleli ukuthi nathengisa ngami lapha, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wangithuma phambi kwenu ukulondoloza ukuphila. Kule minyaka emibili kwakukhona indlala ezweni, futhi kuseneminyaka emihlanu okungayikuvuna ngayo noma kuvunwe. UNkulunkulu wangithuma phambi kwenu ukuba nginigcinele inzalo emhlabeni, ngisindise ukuphila kwenu ngokukhululwa okukhulu.
