This is an unhappy expression, bringing in the name of God where it does not occur. In the O.T. it is chalilah, 'far be it.' Ge 44:7,17, etc. In the N.T. ?? ???????, 'let it not be.' Ro 3:4,6,31, etc.
They answered him, "Why does my lord say such things? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
But Joseph said, "Far be it from me to do this! The man in whose hand the cup was found will become my slave, but the rest of you may go back to your father in peace."
Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written: "so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged."
