Genesis 50:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And they sent a message to him, saying: Thy father commanded us before he died,

¹⁷ That we should say thus much to thee from him: I beseech thee to forget the wickedness of thy brethren, and the sin and malice they practiced against thee: we also pray thee, to forgive the servants of the God of thy father this wickedness. And when Joseph heard this, he wept.

¹⁸ And his brethren came to him: and worshipping prostrate on the ground they said: We are thy servants.
