18 Then his brothers also came and threw themselves down before him; they said, |Here we are; we are your slaves.| 19 But Joseph answered them, |Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant to harm me, but God intended it for a good purpose, so he could preserve the lives of many people, as you can see this day. 21 So now, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your little children.| Then he consoled them and spoke kindly to them. Genesis 50:18-21, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
