Compare all
17 ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; afor they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of bthe God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.  
18 Then his brothers also went and afell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”  
19 Joseph said to them, a“Do not be afraid, bfor am I in the place of God?  
20 aBut as for you, you meant evil against me; but bGod meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.  
21 Now therefore, do not be afraid; aI will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke1 kindly to them.

Genesis 50:19

Am I in the place of God? - He in his great humility thought they shewed him too much respect, and faith to them in effect, as Peter to Cornelius, Stand up, I myself also am a man. Make your peace with God, and then you will find it an easy matter to make your peace with me.
