Joseph Reassures His Brothers

15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, athey said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may1 actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.”  
16 So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying,
17 ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; afor they did evil to you.” ’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of bthe God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.  
18 Then his brothers also went and afell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”

Genesis 50:16

Thy father did command - Thus in humbling ourselves to Christ by faith and repentance, we may plead that it is the command of his father and our father we should do so.
