Genesis 50:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ So they sent a message to Joseph. It said, “Your father gave this command before he died. ¹⁷ He said to us, ‘You have done wrong. You have sinned and done evil to Joseph. Tell Joseph to forgive you, his brothers.’ So now, Joseph, we beg you to forgive our wrong. We are the servants of the God of your father.” When Joseph received the message, he cried.

¹⁸ And his brothers went to him and bowed low before him. They said, “We are your slaves.”
