Genesis 50:15-17

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁵ And when Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will pay us back for all the evil which we did to him.”

¹⁶ Therefore, they sent to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying,

¹⁷ ‘Thus shall you say to Joseph, “Please forgive, now, the trespass of your brothers and their sin. For they rewarded you evil.”’ And now, please forgive the trespass of the servants of your father’s God.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
