Joseph Reassures His Brothers

¹⁵ After the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said, “What if Joseph still hates us and plans to pay us back for all the harm we did to him?” ¹⁶ So they sent a message to Joseph: “Before our father died, ¹⁷ he told us to ask you, ‘Please forgive the crime your brothers committed when they wronged you.’ Now please forgive us the wrong that we, the servants of your father's God, have done.” Joseph cried when he received this message.
