Genesis 50:14-26
14AfterH310 he had buriedH6912 his fatherH1, JosephH3130 returnedH7725 to EgyptH4714, he and his brothersH251, and allH3605 who had goneH5927 up with him to buryH6912 his fatherH1.
15When Joseph’sH3130 brothersH251 sawH7200 that their fatherH1 was deadH4191, they saidH559, “1What if JosephH3130 bearsH7852 a grudgeH7852 againstH7852 us and paysH7725 us backH7725 in fullH7725 for allH3605 the wrongH7463 whichH834 we didH1580 to him!” 16So they 2sentH6680 a message to JosephH3130, sayingH559, “Your fatherH1 chargedH6680 beforeH6440 he diedH4194, sayingH559, 17‘ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to JosephH3130, “PleaseH4994 forgiveH5375, I begH577 you, the transgressionH6588 of your brothersH251 and their sinH2403, for they didH1580 you wrongH7463.”’ And nowH6258, pleaseH4994 forgiveH5375 the transgressionH6588 of the servantsH5650 of the GodH430 of your fatherH1.” And JosephH3130 weptH1058 when they spokeH1696 to him. 18Then his brothersH251 alsoH1571 cameH1980 and 3fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 him and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, we are your servantsH5650.” 19But JosephH3130 saidH559 to them, “Do not be afraidH3372, for am I in God’sH430 placeH8478? 20As for you, 4you meantH2803 evilH7463 againstH5921 me, but GodH430 meantH2803 it for goodH2899 in orderH4616 to bringH6213 aboutH6213 5thisH2088 presentH3117 result, to preserveH2421 manyH7227 peopleH5971 aliveH2421. 21SoH6258 therefore, do not be afraidH3372; 6I will provideH3557 for you and your littleH2945 onesH2945.” So he comfortedH5162 them and spokeH1696 7kindlyH3820 to them.
22Now JosephH3130 stayedH3427 in EgyptH4714, he and his father’sH1 householdH1004, and JosephH3130 livedH2421 one hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141. 23JosephH3130 sawH7200 the thirdH8029 generation of Ephraim’sH669 sonsH1121; alsoH1571 the sonsH1121 of MachirH4353, the sonH1121 of ManassehH4519, were 8bornH3205 on Joseph’sH3130 kneesH1290. 24JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brothersH251, “9I am about to dieH4191, but GodH430 will surelyH6485 10takeH6485 careH6485 of you and bringH5927 you up from thisH2088 landH776 to the landH776 whichH834 He 11promisedH7650 on oathH7650 to 12AbrahamH85, to 13IsaacH3327 and to 14JacobH3290.” 25Then JosephH3130 made the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 swearH7650, sayingH559, “GodH430 will surelyH6485 15takeH6485 careH6485 of you, and 16you shall carryH5927 my bonesH6106 up from hereH2088.” 26So JosephH3130 diedH4191 at the ageH1121 of one hundredH3967 and tenH6235 yearsH8141; and 17he was 18embalmedH2590 and placedH7760 in a coffinH727 in EgyptH4714.
