Genesis 45:8

So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God; and He hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Joseph says God made him 'a father to Pharaoh.' How can a servant be called a father to the king he serves?

Look closely. What seems repeated, missing, out of order, or strange?
