He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:

Ver. 17. He sent a man before them] An eminent and eximious man, Cuius vita fuit coelum quoddam lucidissimis virtutum stellis exornatum, to be their friend in the court, and to provide for their livelihood. No danger befalleth the Church but God beforehand provideth and procureth the means & preservation and deliverance, 2 Peter 2:9 .

Even Joseph, who was sold] God ordereth the disorders of the world to his own glory and his people's good.
