Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 41:16

16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, it is not in me : God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace .

I cannot do this by any power or vertue or art of my own, for I am but a man, as your Magicians are, but onely by inspiration from the great God. Thus he gives the honour from himself unto God, and leads Pharaoh to the knowledge of the true God. For the phrase compare Matth. 10. 20. 1 Cor. 15. 10.

Or, May God give, &c. It is my desire that God would vouchsa[illegible: 1+ letters]e to Pharaoh a comfortable and happy answer.
