What it means

Joseph’s brothers had sold him into slavery, yet God used the whole ordeal to position Joseph to save many lives during famine.

The verse holds two truths together: human wrongdoing is real and culpable, and God’s sovereign goodness can overrule it for good.

Common questions
Does Genesis 50:20 mean evil is good?

No. It says the brothers’ intent was genuinely evil, but God sovereignly used it for good—he redeems evil without excusing it.
