17 'So you shall tell Joseph, 'Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.' Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father.' Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, 'Behold, we are your servants.'
19 Joseph said to them, 'Don't be afraid, for am I in the place of God?
20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.
21 Now therefore don't be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones.' He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
