"And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.” "
— Genesis 50:18, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.”
“And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we are thy servants. ”
“His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, "Behold, we are your servants."”
“Then his brothers also came and threw themselves down before him; they said,“Here we are; we are your slaves.””
“And his brethren came to him; and worshipping prostrate on the ground, they said: We are thy servants.”
“Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.”
“And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.”
Now that he was dead, his brothers were afraid, and they said to one another: “Perhaps now he may remember the injury that he suffered and requite us for all the evil that we did to him.”
So they sent a message to him, saying: “Your father instructed us before he died,
that we should say these words to you from him: ‘I beg you to forget the wickedness of your brothers, and the sin and malice that they practiced against you.’ Likewise, we petition you to release the servants of the God of your father from this iniquity.” Hearing this, Joseph wept.
And his brothers went to him. And reverencing prostrate on the ground, they said, “We are your servants.”
And he answered them: “Do not be afraid. Are we able to resist the will of God?
You devised evil against me. But God turned it into good, so that he might exalt me, just as you presently discern, and so that he might bring about the salvation of many peoples.
Do not be afraid. I will pasture you and your little ones.” And he consoled them, and he spoke mildly and leniently.
