Genesis 50:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Thus shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive now, I pray thee, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin: for they rewarded thee evil. And now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of thy father’s [a]God. And Joseph wept, when [b]they spake unto him.
18 Also his brethren came unto him, and fell down before his face, and said, Behold, we be thy servants.
19 To whom Joseph said, (A)Fear not: for [c]am not I under [d]God?
