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”

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.”
