15And the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead, and say, `Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly return to us all the evil which we did with him.`
16And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, `Thy father commanded before his death, saying,
17Thus ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;` and Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto him.
18And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say, `Lo, we [are] to thee for servants.`
19And Joseph saith unto them, `Fear not, for [am] I in the place of God?
20As for you, ye devised against me evil -- God devised it for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a numerous people;
21and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;` and he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart.
