| 50:17 | Your father commanded before his death, saying, So you shall say to Joseph, Please lift up now the rebellion of your brothers, and their sin; for they did evil to you. And now please lift up the rebellion of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him. |
| 50:18 | his brothers also went and fell down before his face. And they said, Behold, we are your servants. |
| 50:19 | And Joseph said to them, Do not fear. For am I in the place of God? |
