Exegesis
The sequence lo atem shelachtem oti henah {לֹא אַתֶּם שְׁלַחְתֶּם אֹתִי הֵנָּה | lōʾ ʾat-tem šə-laḥ-tem ʾō-tî hēn-nāh} places the negation before the subject ‘you’, highlighting that Joseph’s brothers are not the true agents of his being ‘sent here’.
In context — Genesis 45:8
And now, it was not you who sent me here, but God ; and He has established me as a father to Pharaoh, and as lord of all his house, and as ruler over all the land of Egypt.
