17) "So will you tell Joseph, ‘Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you.‘ Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

Genesis 45:3-8
3) Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Does my father still live?" His brothers couldn‘t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
4) Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." They came near. "He said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5) Now don‘t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6) For these two years has the famine been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7) God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
8) So now it wasn‘t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
