[4] "And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. [5] But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life."
I read this in my daily reading a couple of days ago and a thought came to mind which I had never considered before. It seems like Joseph is in essence telling his brothers not to be concerned about their actions, as it was providence that made them do what they did. This seems to go against the belief that human agents are still responsible for their actions, regardless of providence.
