“Now that their father was dead, Joseph’s brothers became fearful.” —Genesis 50:15
Joseph’s brothers were fearful, guilt-ridden, and steeped in self-hatred. They flung themselves before Joseph and said: “Let us be your slaves!” (Gn 50:18) After they tried to murder Joseph and finally sold him into slavery, his brothers carried their burden of sin for nearly four decades.

Then they rushed at him as one man, dragged him out of the city, and began to stone him” (Acts 7:57-58).
