Genesis 37:18-28
18And they sawH7200 him afarH7350 off, and before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 19And they saidH559 oneH376 to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. 20Come nowH6258 thereforeH6258, and let us slayH2026 him, and castH7993 him into oneH259 of the pitsH953, and we will sayH559, An evilH7451 beast hath devouredH398 him: and we shall seeH7200 what will becomeH1961 of his dreamsH2472. 21And ReubenH7205 heardH8085 it, and deliveredH5337 him out of their handH3027, and saidH559, Let us not take his lifeH5315. 22And ReubenH7205 saidH559 unto them, ShedH8210 no bloodH1818; castH7993 him into this pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, but lay no handH3027 upon him: that he might deliverH5337 him out of their handH3027, to restoreH7725 him to his fatherH1. 23And it cameH935 to pass, when JosephH3130 wasH1961 comeH935 unto his brethren, that they strippedH6584 JosephH3130 of his coat, the coat of many colors that wasH1961 on him; 24and they tookH3947 him, and castH7993 him into the pitH953: and the pitH953 was emptyH7386, there was no waterH4325 in it.
25And they satH3427 downH3381 to eatH398 breadH3899: and they liftedH5375 up their eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, a caravan of IshmaelitesH3459 was comingH935 from GileadH1568, with their camelsH1581 bearingH5375 spicery and balmH6875 and myrrhH3910, goingH1980 to carryH5375 it downH3381 to EgyptH4714. 26And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto his brethren, What profitH1215 is it if we slayH2026 our brotherH251 and concealH3680 his bloodH1818? 27Come, and let us sellH4376 him to the IshmaelitesH3459, and let not our handH3027 beH1961 upon him; for he is our brotherH251, our fleshH1320. And his brethren hearkened unto him. 28And there passedH5674 by MidianitesH4084, merchantmen; and they drewH4900 and lifted up JosephH3130 out of the pitH953, and soldH4376 JosephH3130 to the IshmaelitesH3459 for twentyH6242 pieces of silverH3701. And they broughtH935 JosephH3130 into EgyptH4714.
