|
|
17. Thus say ye to Joseph, Forgive them their injustice and their sin, forasmuch as they have done thee evil; and now Gr. accept pardon the injustice of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept while they spoke to him.
|
17.

18. And they came to him and said, We, these persons, are thy servants.
|
18. And his brethren H251 also H1571 went H1980 and fell down H5307 before his face H6440 ; and they said H559 , Behold H2009 , we be thy servants H5650 .
|
|
19. And Joseph said to them, Fear not, for I am God’s.
|
19. And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 them, Fear H3372 not H408 : for H3588 am I H589 in the place H8478 of God H430 ?
|
|
20. Ye took counsel against me for evil, but God took counsel for me for good, that the matter might be as it is to-day, and much people might be fed.
|
20. But as for you H859 , ye thought H2803 evil H7451 against H5921 me; but God H430 meant H2803 it unto good H2896 , to H4616 bring to pass H6213 , as it is this H2088 day H3117 , to save much people alive H2421 H5971 H7227 .
|
|
21. And he said to them, Fear not, I will maintain you, and your families: and he comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.
|
21. Now H6258 therefore fear H3372 ye not H408 : I H595 will nourish H3557 you , and your little ones H2945 . And he comforted H5162 them , and spoke H1696 kindly H5921 H3820 unto them.

|
|
24. And Joseph spoke to his brethren, saying, I die, and God will surely visit you, and will bring you out of this land to the land concerning which God sware to our fathers, Abraam, Isaac, and Jacob.
|
24. And Joseph H3130 said H559 unto H413 his brethren H251 , I H595 die H4191 : and God H430 will surely visit H6485 H6485 you , and bring H5927 you out of H4480 this H2063 land H776 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 he swore H7650 to Abraham H85 , to Isaac H3327 , and to Jacob H3290 .
|
|
25. And Joseph adjured the sons of Israel, saying, At the visitation with which God shall visit you, then ye shall carry up my bones hence with you.
|
25. And Joseph H3130 took an oath H7650 of H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 , God H430 will surely visit H6485 H6485 you , and ye shall carry up H5927 H853 my bones H6106 from hence H4480 H2088 .
