Genesis 50:18-21 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹⁸His brothers also came to him, bowed down before him, and said, “We are your slaves!”

          19But Joseph replied, “Do not be afraid. Am I in the place of God?
          20As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this — to preserve the lives of many people.
          21Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.
