Genesis 50:15-17

New King James Version

Joseph Reassures His Brothers

¹⁵ When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, ^(A)they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may ^[a]actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” ¹⁶ So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, ¹⁷ ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; ^(B)for they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of ^(C)the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
