14 Joseph, après avoir enterré son père, retourna en Égypte, avec ses frères et tous ceux qui étaient montés avec lui pour enterrer son père.

15 Quand les frères de Joseph virent que leur père était mort, ils dirent: Si Joseph nous prenait en haine, et nous rendait tout le mal que nous lui avons fait!

16 Et ils firent dire à Joseph: Ton père a donné cet ordre avant de mourir:

17 Vous parlerez ainsi à Joseph: Oh! Pardonne le crime de tes frères et leur péché, car ils t’ont fait du mal! Pardonne maintenant le péché des serviteurs du Dieu de ton père! Joseph pleura, en entendant ces paroles.

18 Ses frères vinrent eux-mêmes se prosterner devant lui, et ils dirent: Nous sommes tes serviteurs.
