Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 7:9

9 And the patriarchs moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt a: but God was with him.

Enraged; the holy Martyr accommodates his apology so, as that they may ye[illegible: 1 letter] have occasion to reflect on themselves:

for as they had sold our Saviour unto strangers, so had their Fathers sold Ioseph.

To favour, and bless him; for Gods presence brings all good along with it: with this he comforts himself and others; that it was not without example or precedent that God should be with such whom their persecutors could not endure.
