《圣经》（新旧约全书）

北回归线

约瑟葬了他父亲以后，就和众弟兄，并一切同他上去葬他父亲的人，都回埃及去了。

And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father

约瑟的哥哥们见父亲死了，就说，或者约瑟怀恨我们，照着我们从前待他一切的恶足足地报复我们。

And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him

他们就打发人去见约瑟，说，你父亲未死以先吩咐说，

And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying

你们要对约瑟这样说，从前你哥哥们恶待你，求你饶恕他们的过犯和罪恶。如今求你饶恕你父亲神之仆人的过犯。他们对约瑟说这话，约瑟就哭了。

So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him

他的哥哥们又来俯伏在他面前，说，我们是你的仆人。

And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants

约瑟对他们说，不要害怕，我岂能代替神呢。

And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?

北回归线

从前你们的意思是要害我，但神的意思原是好的，要保全许多人的性命，成就今日的光景。

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive

现在你们不要害怕，我必养活你们和你们的妇人孩子。于是约瑟用亲爱的话安慰他们。

Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them

约瑟和他父亲的眷属都住在埃及。约瑟活了一百一十岁。

And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years

约瑟得见以法莲第三代的子孙。玛拿西的孙子，玛吉的儿子也养在约瑟的膝上。

And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees
