This is what you are to say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression and sin of your brothers, for they did you wrong.' So now, Joseph, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father." When their message came to him, Joseph wept. Context 17Thus 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. 18Then his brothers also came and fell down before him and said, Behold, we are your servants. 19But Joseph said to them, Do not be afraid, for am I in Gods place? 20As 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. 21So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones. So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. Death of Joseph 22Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his fathers household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years. 23Joseph saw the third generation of Ephraims sons; also the sons of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Josephs knees. 24Joseph 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. 25Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones up from here. 26So Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years; and he was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.
