Commentary
Genesis chapter 50 is the conclusion of the story of Joseph, the favored son of Jacob. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, Joseph rises to a position of power in Egypt, eventually becoming the Pharaoh's right-hand man. In this chapter, Joseph's brothers come to him in fear, expecting punishment for their past actions. However, Joseph shows them mercy and forgiveness, assuring them that God had used their actions to bring about a greater good.
