Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Joseph’s Kindness

¹⁵ When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said to one another, ‘If Joseph is holding a grudge against us, he will certainly repay us for all the suffering we caused him.’^(A)

¹⁶ So they sent this message to Joseph, ‘Before he died your father gave a command: ¹⁷ “Say this to Joseph: Please forgive your brothers’ transgression and their sin – the suffering they caused you.” Therefore, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.’ Joseph wept^(B) when their message came to him.
