Bereshis 50:15-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

15. And when the Achei Yosef (the brothers of Yosef) saw that Avihem was dead, they said, What if Yosef will hate us, and will certainly requite us all the ra'ah which we did unto him.

16. And they sent word unto Yosef, saying, Avicha did command before he died, saying,

17. So shall ye say unto Yosef, Forgive, now, the peysha of thy achim, and their chattat; for they did unto thee ra'ah; and now, forgive the peysha of the Avdei Elohei Avicha. And Yosef wept when they spoke unto him.

18. And his achim also went and fell down before him; and they said, Behold us, we are thy avadim.

19. And Yosef said unto them, Fear not; for am I in the place of Elohim?

20. But as for you, ye intended ra'ah against me; but Elohim intended it for tovah, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save Am Rav (much people) alive.
