Genesis 37:29-35

29And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph [was] not in the pit; and he rent his garments,

30and returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?

31And they took Joseph's vest, and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the vest in the blood;

32and 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.

33And he discerned it, and said, [It is] my son's vest! an evil beast has devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!

34And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

35And 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.
