Joseph forgives his brothers
Genesis 45:5-15 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with
yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you
to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been
in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither
be earing nor harvest. And God sent
me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save
your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to
Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the
land of Egypt. Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him,
Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come
down unto me, tarry not: ...
Genesis 50:19-21 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for
am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil
against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as
it is this day, to save much people alive. Now therefore fear
ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted
them, and spake kindly unto them.
