Genesis 50:15-21 - Joseph's Kindness

15 When Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, "Joseph might fortune to hate us and reward us again all the evil which we did unto him."

16 They did therefore a commandment unto Joseph saying, "Thy father charged before his death saying, 17 'This wise say unto Joseph: forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy brethren and their sin, for they rewarded thee evil.' Now therefore we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of thy father's God." And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. 18 And his brethren came and fell before him and said, "Behold we be thy servants."

19 And Joseph said unto them, "Fear not, for am not I under God? 20 Ye thought evil unto me: but God turned it unto good to bring to pass, as it is this day, even to save much people alive. 21 Fear not therefore, for I will care for you and for your children." And he spake kindly unto them.
