Genesis 50:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ When Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Perhaps now Joseph will hate us and will pay us back for all the evil we did to him.

¹⁶ And they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Your father commanded before he died, saying,

¹⁷ So shall you say to Joseph: Forgive (take up and away all resentment and all claim to requital concerning), I pray you now, the trespass of your brothers and their sin, for they did evil to you. Now, we pray you, forgive the trespass of the servants of your father’s God. And Joseph wept when they spoke thus to him.
