創世記 50:19

Listen to 創世記 50:19
19 約 瑟 對 他 們 說 : 不 要 害 怕 , 我 豈 能 代 替   神 呢 ?

創世記 50:19 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 50:19

And Joseph said unto them, fear not
That any hurt would be done by him to them, or that he would use them ill for their treatment of him:

for am I in the place of God?
to receive such homage from you, that you should be my servants, as Saadiah Gaon gives the sense; or rather to take vengeance for injury done, which belongs to God alone: or, "am I not under God" F21? subject to him, a servant of his, and why should you be mine? nor is it in my power, if I had a will to it, to change his purposes, to alter his providences, or contradict his will, and do hurt to those whom God hath blessed; and so may have regard to the late patriarchal benediction of his father, under the direction of the Holy Spirit: or, "am I in the place of God?" and under him a father of them, as he had been a provider for them, and a supporter of them, and still would be.

創世記 50:19 In-Context

17 你 們 要 對 約 瑟 這 樣 說 : 從 前 你 哥 哥 們 惡 待 你 , 求 你 饒 恕 他 們 的 過 犯 和 罪 惡 。 如 今 求 你 饒 恕 你 父 親   神 之 僕 人 的 過 犯 。 他 們 對 約 瑟 說 這 話 , 約 瑟 就 哭 了 。
18 他 的 哥 哥 們 又 來 俯 伏 在 他 面 前 , 說 : 我 們 是 你 的 僕 人 。
19 約 瑟 對 他 們 說 : 不 要 害 怕 , 我 豈 能 代 替   神 呢 ?
20 從 前 你 們 的 意 思 是 要 害 我 , 但   神 的 意 思 原 是 好 的 , 要 保 全 許 多 人 的 性 命 , 成 就 今 日 的 光 景 。
21 現 在 你 們 不 要 害 怕 , 我 必 養 活 你 們 和 你 們 的 婦 人 孩 子 。 於 是 約 瑟 用 親 愛 的 話 安 慰 他 們 。
