When
Joseph's brothers saw that their
father was
dead, they
said, "What if
Joseph bears a
grudge against us and
pays us
back in
full for
all the
wrong which we
did to him!"

So they
sent a message to
Joseph,
saying, "Your
father charged before he
died,
saying,
yen.pil h\Wic '$yib'a r{mael @esw{y -l,a .W.W;c.y;w ? r{mael w{tw{m
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.

Then his
brothers also came and
fell down before him and
said,
"Behold, we are your
servants."

But
Joseph said to them, "Do not be
afraid, for am I in
God's place?

"As for you, you
meant evil against me, but
God meant it for
good in
order to
bring about this present result, to
preserve many people alive.

21
"So therefore, do not be
afraid; I will
provide for you and your
little ones." So he
comforted them and
spoke kindly to them.

Now
Joseph stayed in
Egypt, he and his
father's household, and
Joseph lived one
hundred and
ten years.

Joseph saw the
third generation of
Ephraim's sons;
also the
sons of
Machir, the
son of
Manasseh, were
born on
Joseph's knees.

Joseph said to his
brothers, "I am about to
die, but
God will
surely take care of you and
bring you up from
this land to the
land which He
promised on
oath to
Abraham, to
Isaac and to
Jacob."

Then
Joseph made the
sons of
Israel swear,
saying,
"God will
surely take care of you, and you shall
carry my
bones up from
here."

So
Joseph died at the
age of one
hundred and
ten years; and he was
embalmed and
placed in a
coffin in
Egypt.
