Kommentar zu Bereschit 45:8
וְעַתָּ֗ה לֹֽא־אַתֶּ֞ם שְׁלַחְתֶּ֤ם אֹתִי֙ הֵ֔נָּה כִּ֖י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיְשִׂימֵ֨נִֽי לְאָ֜ב לְפַרְעֹ֗ה וּלְאָדוֹן֙ לְכָל־בֵּית֔וֹ וּמֹשֵׁ֖ל בְּכָל־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Nicht ihr also habt mich hierhergesandt, sondern Gott. Er hat mich zum Vater Pharaos gemacht, zum Herrn seines ganzen Hofes und zum Herrscher über das ganze Land Ägypten.
Rashi on Genesis
לאב A FATHER — he made me his colleague and he bestowed on me the dignity of “Father of the king.”

Sforno on Genesis
ועתה לא אתם שלחתם, now that you have seen G’d’s purpose a purpose that could not have been achieved without all the various stages preceding it, it is no more than reasonable to suppose that also the further distant causes which led up to all this were part of G’d’s plan.
