Chapter 50
15
Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, and they said, "Will Joseph hate us and pay us back for all the evil we did to him?"
16
And they said to Joseph, "Your father commanded, before his death, saying,"
17
Say this to Joseph: "Please forgive, I beg you, the transgression and sin of your brother, for you repaid us evil. And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when they spoke these words to him.
18
And his brothers also went and fell before him. And they said, "Here we are, as your servants."
19
And Joseph said to them, "Do not fear, for I am under God."
20
You yourselves planned evil against me, but God planned it for good, to do it this way, as it is today, to preserve a numerous people alive.
21
And now, do not fear. I will sustain you and your little ones. And he comforted them and spoke to their heart.
