Genesis 50:15-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁵ When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “^(A)What if Joseph bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong which we did to him!” ¹⁶ So they ^[a]sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father charged before he died, saying, ¹⁷ ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph, “Please forgive, I beg you, the transgression of your brothers and their sin, for they did you wrong.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
