Genesis 45:5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here: for God did send me before you to preserve life. I. The story of Joseph is to all men for ever the best proof of the working of the hand of Providence. II. As through the life of Joseph, so through our life, there are threads which connect the different scenes and bind together the destinies of the different actors. III. This history and the inspired commentary on it in Psalm 105. teach us the wonderful continuity of God's plan and the oneness of the thread that binds together the histories of Israel and of Egypt. (Dean Butcher.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. |
