Génesis 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.

Génesis 50:19 In-Context

17 Así diréis a José: Te ruego que perdones ahora la maldad de tus hermanos, y su pecado, porque mal te galardonaron; por tanto ahora te rogamos que perdones la maldad de los siervos del Dios de tu padre. Y José lloró mientras hablaban
18 Y vinieron también sus hermanos, y se postraron delante de él, y dijeron: Henos aquí por tus siervos
19 Y les respondió José: No temáis: ¿Soy yo en lugar de Dios
20 Vosotros pensasteis mal sobre mí, mas Dios lo pensó por bien, para hacer lo que vemos hoy, para dar vida a mucho pueblo
21 Ahora, pues, no tengáis miedo; yo os sustentaré a vosotros y a vuestros niños. Así los consoló, y les habló al corazón
