Consider whether or not it is better in your language to translate this embedded quote as a direct or indirect quote. See what you did for doubly-embedded quotes in Gen 32:4. Alternate translation: “to tell you that he asks you to” or “to ask you on his behalf to”

forgive now transgression brothers,your and,sin,their that/for/because/then/when wrong did,you
Consider again how you translated sin in Gen 4:7; 18:20; 31:36; 50:17, and consider again how you translated the synonym crime in Gen 31:36; 50:17. It may be necessary to translate these terms in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “please forgive your brothers for all the evil they did to you and for their offenses against you, even though what they did was very evil”
וְעַתָּה֙ שָׂ֣א נָ֔א לְפֶ֥שַׁע עַבְדֵ֖י אֱלֹהֵ֣י אָבִ֑יךָ
and=now forgive now of,transgression servants god I_will_show=you(ms)
Consider again how you translated “the God of” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 9:26; 24:12, 27, 42, 48; 26:24; 28:13; 31:5, 29, 42, 53; 32:9; 43:23; 46:1, 3; 49:24-25; 50:17. Alternate translation: “So then, as servants of God whom our father served, we beg you to forgive us for sinning against you.”
וַיֵּ֥בְךְּ יוֹסֵ֖ף בְּדַבְּרָ֥ם אֵלָֽיו
and,wept Yōşēf/(Joseph) in/on/at/with,spoke,they to=him/it
Alternate translation: “Joseph cried when he heard that message.”
50:15-18 The brothers pleaded for Joseph’s forgiveness, referring to themselves as Joseph’s slaves (cp. 37:7; 44:16, 33). The brothers were afraid that Joseph’s earlier reconciliation with them had been motivated only by his desire to see his father again. With neither Jacob nor Pharaoh to restrain him, they feared that he might now take revenge on them. But Joseph . . . wept because they still feared reprisal.
