Genesis 37:21-23

21But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying, "Let us not take his life."

22And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him"—that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.

23So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore.
