Genesis 33:4Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.Genesis 33:11Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.Genesis 45:5And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.Genesis 45:6For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.Genesis 45:7God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.Genesis 45:8Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.Genesis 45:9Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.Genesis 45:10You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.Genesis 45:11And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’Genesis 45:12Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.Genesis 45:13Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”Genesis 45:14Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.Genesis 45:15Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them.

Am I in the place of God?Genesis 50:20As for you, what you intended against me for evil, God intended for good, in order to accomplish a day like this—to preserve the lives of many people.Genesis 50:21Therefore do not be afraid. I will provide for you and your little ones.” So Joseph reassured his brothers and spoke kindly to them.Exodus 23:4If you encounter your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him.Exodus 23:5If you see the donkey of one who hates you fallen under its load, do not leave it there; you must help him with it.Numbers 12:1Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.Numbers 12:2“Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.Numbers 12:3Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.Numbers 12:4And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,Numbers 12:5and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,Numbers 12:6He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.Numbers 12:7But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.Numbers 12:8I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”Numbers 12:9So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.Numbers 12:10As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,Numbers 12:11and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.Numbers 12:12Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”Numbers 12:13So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”1 Samuel 24:10Behold, this day you have seen with your own eyes that the LORD delivered you into my hand in the cave. I was told to kill you, but I spared you and said, ‘I will not lift my hand against my lord, since he is the LORD’s anointed.’1 Samuel 24:11See, my father, look at the corner of your robe in my hand. For I cut it off, but I did not kill you. Know and see that there is no evil or rebellion in my hands. I have not sinned against you, even though you are hunting me down to take my life.1 Samuel 24:12May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD take vengeance on you, but my hand will never be against you.1 Samuel 26:9But David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can extend a hand against the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless?”1 Samuel 26:23May the LORD repay every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. For the LORD delivered you into my hand today, but I would not extend my hand against the LORD’s anointed.2 Samuel 1:14So David asked him, “Why were you not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”2 Samuel 1:15Then David summoned one of the young men and said, “Go, execute him!” So the young man struck him down, and he died.2 Samuel 1:16For David had said to the Amalekite, “Your blood be on your own head because your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I killed the LORD’s anointed.’”2 Samuel 1:17Then David took up this lament for Saul and his son Jonathan,2 Samuel 16:9Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over and cut off his head!”2 Samuel 16:10But the king replied, “What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses me because the LORD told him, ‘Curse David,’ who can ask, ‘Why did you do this?’”2 Samuel 16:11Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my own son, my own flesh and blood, seeks my life. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse me, for the LORD has told him so.2 Samuel 16:12Perhaps the LORD will see my affliction and repay me with good for the cursing I receive today.”2 Samuel 16:13So David and his men proceeded along the road as Shimei went along the ridge of the hill opposite him. As Shimei went, he yelled curses, threw stones, and flung dust at David.2 Samuel 19:23So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore an oath to him.1 Kings 1:53So King Solomon summoned Adonijah down from the altar, and he came and bowed down before King Solomon, who said to him, “Go to your home.”1 Kings 2:8Keep an eye on Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim who is with you. He called down bitter curses against me on the day I went to Mahanaim, but when he came down to meet me at the Jordan, I swore to him by the LORD: ‘I will never put you to the sword.’1 Kings 2:9Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man. You know what you ought to do to him to bring his gray head down to Sheol in blood.”1 Kings 13:3That day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “The LORD has spoken this sign: ‘Surely the altar will be split apart, and the ashes upon it will be poured out.’”1 Kings 13:4Now when King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back.1 Kings 13:5And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.1 Kings 13:6Then the king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.Proverbs 19:11A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense.Proverbs 24:17Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,Proverbs 24:29Do not say, “I will do to him as he has done to me; I will repay the man according to his work.”Proverbs 25:21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.Proverbs 25:22For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.Ecclesiastes 7:21Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.Matthew 5:7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
