"Come close to me. I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you."
— Genesis 45:4-5
På svenska
"Kom hit till mig, sade Josef till sina bröder. Och de närmade sig. Jag är er bror Josef, som ni sålde till Egypten. Men nu ska ni inte vara bedrövade och inte grämma er för att ni sålde mig hit, ty för att bevara liv sände Gud mig hit före er."
Reflection: After years of suffering, Josef reveals himself — not with vengeance, but with comfort. This is one of the great scenes of forgiveness in all literature.
