Midrasz do Rodzaju 50:20
וְאַתֶּ֕ם חֲשַׁבְתֶּ֥ם עָלַ֖י רָעָ֑ה אֱלֹהִים֙ חֲשָׁבָ֣הּ לְטֹבָ֔ה לְמַ֗עַן עֲשֹׂ֛ה כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּ֖ה לְהַחֲיֹ֥ת עַם־רָֽב׃
Jakkolwiek umyśliliście zło na mnie, Bóg umyślił to na dobre, aby sprowadzić to, co dziś się stało: aby zachować życie ludu licznego.
Mekhilta d'Rabbi Yishmael
