וַיְצַוּ֕וּ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֖ף לֵאמֹ֑ר אָבִ֣יךָ צִוָּ֔ה לִפְנֵ֥י מוֹת֖וֹ לֵאמֹֽר׃
요셉에게 말을 전하여 가로되 당신의 아버지가 돌아가시기 전에 명하여 이르시기를
Tractate Derekh Eretz Zuta
Rabban Simeon b. Gamaliel said: Great is peace, for we find that the tribes53i.e. the sons of Jacob. reported an untrue statement in order to maintain peace between Joseph and his brethren; as it is stated, And they sent a message unto Joseph, saying: Thy father did command before he died, saying: So shall ye say unto Joseph: Forgive, I pray thee now, the transgression of thy brethren and their sin,54ibid. L, 16. but we do not find that [Jacob] had given them any such command.55Cf. Yeb. 65b (Sonc. ed., p. 437).
