16 And they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, Thy father commanded before he died, saying,
17 So shall ye say to Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did to thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face: and they said, Behold, we [are] thy servants.
19 And Joseph said to them, Fear not: for [am] I in the place of God?
20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save many people alive.
