17‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to JosephH3130: “PleaseH4994 forgiveH5375, I begH577 you, the offenseH6588 of your brothersH251 and their sinH2403, for they didH1580 you wrongH7463.”’ And nowH6258, pleaseH4994 forgiveH5375 the offenseH6588 of the servantsH5650 of the GodH430 of your fatherH1.” And JosephH3130 weptH1058 when they spokeH1696 to him. 18Then his brothersH251 alsoH1571 cameH1980 and 1fellH5307 downH5307 beforeH6440 him and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, we are your servantsH5650.” 19But JosephH3130 saidH559 to them, “Do not beH3372 afraidH3372, for am I inH8478 God’sH430 placeH8478? 20As for you, 2you meantH2803 evilH7463 againstH5921 me, but GodH430 meantH2803 it for goodH2899 inH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 bringH6213 aboutH6213 3thisH2088 presentH3117 result, to keepH2421 manyH7227 peopleH5971 aliveH2421. 21SoH6258 therefore, do not beH3372 afraidH3372; 4I will provideH3557 for you and your littleH2945 onesH2945.” So he comfortedH5162 them and spokeH1696 5kindlyH3820 to them.
