It was not you that sent me hither, but God That I came to this place and pitch of honour and power is not to be imputed to your design, which was of another nature, but to God's overruling providence, which ordered the circumstances of your action, so as that I should be brought to this place and state; compare Genesis 50:20. He hath made me a father to Pharaoh His principal counsellor of state, to guide his affairs with a fatherly care, and to have the authority, respect, and power of a father with him; Genesis 41:40-44; Judges 17:10.
