Genesis 50:17-21

17‘Thus you shall say to Joseph, “Please forgive, I beg you, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did you wrong.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18Then his brothers also came and 1fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19But Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place? 20As for you, 2you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about 3this present result, to preserve many people alive. 21So therefore, do not be afraid; 4I will provide for you and your little ones.” So he comforted them and spoke 5kindly to them.
