Genesis 50:15-26 — Joseph Reassures His Brothers
Gen.50.15-26
15When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and surely repays us for all the evil that we did to him?” 16So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father gave this command before he died, saying, 17'This is what you are to say to Joseph: “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did evil to you.”' So now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18His brothers also came and fell down before him, and they said, “Behold, we are your slaves.” 19But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20As for you, you intended evil against me, but God intended it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to preserve the lives of many people. 21So now, do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones." Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. 22So Joseph remained in Egypt, he and his father's household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years. 23Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraim's sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph's knees . 24Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will surely attend to you and bring you up from this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 25Then Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath, saying, “God will surely attend to you, and you must carry my bones up from here.” 26So Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years. They embalmed him , and he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
