Joseph Forgives His Brothers

15

And the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, `Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly return to us all the evil which we did with him.'

16

And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, `Thy father commanded before his death, saying,

17

Thus ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;' and Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto him.

18

And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say, `Lo, we are to thee for servants.'

19

And Joseph saith unto them, `Fear not, for am I in the place of God?

20

As for you, ye devised against me evil--God devised it for good, in order to do as at this day, to keep alive a numerous people;

21

and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;' and he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart.
