  1. And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
  2. And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
  3. And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
  4. And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
  5. And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
  6. And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
  7. Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
  8. Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
  9. And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
  10. And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
  11. And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
  12. And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
  13. And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
  14. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
  15. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
  16. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
