UGenesise 50:15-21

Abafowabo bakaJosefa sebebonile ukuthi uyise ufile, bathi: “Mhlawumbe uJosefa uyakusizonda, aphindisele kithi ngakho konke okubi esikwenzile kuye.” Basebethuma isithunywa kuJosefa ukuthi: Uyihlo walaya engakafi wathi: Ngakho anothi kuJosefa: Thethelela isiphambeko sabafowenu nesono sabo; ngoba bonile; usithethelele manje isiphambeko sezinceku zikaNkulunkulu kayihlo. UJosefa wakhala lapho bekhuluma kuye. Nabafowabo bahamba, bawa phansi phambi kwakhe; futhi bathi: “Bheka, siyizinceku zakho.” UJosefa wathi kubo: “Ningesabi, ngokuba mina ngisesikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu na?” Kepha nina, nangicambela okubi; kepha uNkulunkulu wakuceba kwaba kuhle ukuba kwenziwe, njenganamuhla, ukugcina abantu abaningi bephila. Ningesabi manje; ngiyakunondla nina nabancane benu. Wabaduduza, wakhuluma kubo ngomusa.
