23 Then Joseph said to the people: “See, I have today bought you and your land for Pharʹaoh. Here is seed for you, and you must sow the land with it.

25 So they said: “You have preserved our lives.+ Let us find favor in the eyes of my lord, and we will become slaves to Pharʹaoh.”+

20 Although you meant to harm me,+ God intended it to turn out well and to preserve many people alive, as he is doing today.+
