Genesis 37:29-34

29Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he 1tore his garments.

30He returned to his brothers and said, “2The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?”

31So 3they took Joseph’s tunic, and slaughtered a male goat, and dipped the tunic in the blood;

32and they sent the 4multicolored tunic and brought it to their father and said, “We found this; please 5examine it to see whether it is your son’s tunic or not.”

33Then he 6examined it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. 7A vicious animal has devoured him; 8Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”

34So Jacob 9tore his clothes, and put on a sackcloth undergarment over his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
