18 His brothers wept too, fell down in front of him, and said, "We’re here as your slaves."
19 But Joseph said to them, "Don’t be afraid. Am I God?
20 You planned something bad for me, but God produced something good from it, in order to save the lives of many people, just as he’s doing today.
21 Now, don’t be afraid. I will take care of you and your children." So he put them at ease and spoke reassuringly to them.
22 Thus Joseph lived in Egypt, he and his father’s household. Joseph lived 110 years
23 and saw Ephraim’s grandchildren. The children of Machir, Manasseh’s son, were also born on Joseph’s knees.
24 Joseph said to his brothers, "I’m about to die. God will certainly take care of you and bring you out of this land to the land he promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."
