Genesis 37:28-35

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.

29And ReubenH7205 returnedH7725 unto the pitH953; and, behold, JosephH3130 was not in the pitH953; and he rent his clothesH899. 30And he returnedH7725 unto his brethren, and saidH559, The childH3206 is not; and I, whither shall I goH935? 31And they tookH3947 Joseph’s coat, and killed a he-goat, and dippedH2881 the coat in the bloodH1818; 32and they sentH7971 the coat of many colors, and they broughtH935 it to their fatherH1, and saidH559, This have we foundH4672: know now whether it is thy son’sH1121 coat or not. 33And he knew it, and saidH559, It is my son’sH1121 coat: an evilH7451 beast hath devouredH398 him; JosephH3130 is without doubt tornH2963 in pieces. 34And JacobH3290 rent his garmentsH8071, and putH7760 sackclothH8242 upon his loinsH4975, and mournedH56 for his sonH1121 manyH7227 daysH3117. 35And all his sonsH1121 and all his daughtersH1323 roseH6965 up to comfortH5162 him; but he refusedH3985 to be comfortedH5162; and he saidH559, For I will goH3381 down to SheolH7585 to my sonH1121 mourningH57. And his fatherH1 weptH1058 for him.
