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.

19 Joseph leur dit: Soyez sans crainte; car suis-je à la place de Dieu?
