Genesis - ch 37 v 21 - 36

  1. And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, Let us not take his life.
  2. And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood: cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness; but lay no hand upon him -- in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him to his father again.
  3. And it came to pass when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his vest, the vest of many colours, which he had on;
  4. and they took him and cast him into the pit; now 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 caravan of Ishmaelites came from Gilead; and their camels bore tragacanth, and balsam, and ladanum -- going to carry it down to Egypt.
  6. And Judah said to his brethren, What profit is it that we kill our brother and secrete his blood?
  7. Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened to him.
  8. And Midianitish men, merchants, passed by; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty silver-pieces; and they brought Joseph to Egypt.
  9. And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his garments,
  10. and returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
  11. And they took Joseph's vest, and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the vest in the blood;
  12. and they sent the vest of many colours and had it carried to their father, and said, This have we found: discern now whether it is thy son's vest or not.
  13. And he discerned it, and said, It is my son's vest! an evil beast has devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!
  14. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on 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 said, For I will go down to my son into Sheol mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
  16. And the Midianites sold him into Egypt, to Potiphar, a chamberlain of Pharaoh, the captain of the life-guard.
