(“So it came about, when Joseph reached his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic…and they took him and threw him into the pit…and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. Thus they brought Joseph into Egypt.)
Then Joseph said to his brothers…
’Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God’
When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, ‘What if Joseph bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong which we did to him!’
But Joseph said to them…
‘am I in God's place?
As for you, you meant
evil
against me, but God meant it for
good
in order to bring about this present result’”
