Genesis 50:15-21 - from the King James Version
Gen 50:15 And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they
said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all
the evil which we did unto him.
Gen 50:16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did
command before he died, saying,
Gen 50:17 So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the
trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and
now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy
father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
Gen 50:18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they
said, Behold, we [be] thy servants.
Gen 50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of
God?
Gen 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it
unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive.
Gen 50:21 Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little
ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
