Gen 50:19 But Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in God's place?
Gen 50:20 "As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.
Gen 50:21 "So therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." So he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
Gen 50:22 ¶ Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father's household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
