Genesis 37:17-28

17Then the manH376 saidH559, “They have movedH5265 from hereH2088; for I heardH8085 them sayH559, ‘Let’s goH1980 to 1DothanH1886.’” So JosephH3130 wentH1980 after his brothersH251 and foundH4672 them at DothanH1886.

182When they sawH7200 him from a distanceH7350, and beforeH2962 he cameH7126 closerH7126 to them, they 3plottedH5230 againstH854 him to putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191. 19They saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH251, “4HereH2009 comesH935 thisH1976 dreamerH1167H2472! 20NowH6258 then, comeH1980 and let’s killH2026 him, and throwH7993 him into oneH259 of the pitsH953; and 5we will sayH559, ‘A viciousH7451 animalH2421 devouredH398 him.’ Then we will seeH7200 whatH4100 will becomeH1961 of his dreamsH2472!” 21But 6ReubenH7205 heardH8085 this and rescuedH5337 him out of their handsH3027 7by sayingH559, “Let’s not 8takeH5221 his lifeH5315.” 22Then ReubenH7205 saidH559 to them, “ShedH8210 noH408 bloodH1818. ThrowH7993 him into thisH2088 pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, but do not layH7971 a handH3027 on him”--soH4616 thatH4616 later he might rescueH5337 him out of their handsH3027, to returnH7725 him to his fatherH1. 23So it cameH1961 aboutH1961, whenH3512 JosephH3130 9reachedH935 his brothersH251, that they strippedH6584 JosephH3130 of his tunicH3801, the 10multicoloredH6446 tunicH3801 that was on him; 24and they tookH3947 him and threwH7993 him into the pitH953. Now the pitH953 was emptyH7386, withoutH369 any waterH4325 in it.

25Then they satH3427 downH3427 to eatH398 11a mealH3899. But as they raisedH5375 their eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, beholdH2009, a caravanH736 of 12IshmaelitesH3459 was comingH935 from GileadH1568, with their camelsH1581 carryingH5375 13labdanumH5219 resinH5219, 14balsamH6875, and 15myrrhH3910, 16onH1980 their wayH1980 to bringH3381 them downH3381 to EgyptH4714. 26And JudahH3063 saidH559 to his brothersH251, “WhatH4100 profitH1215 is it for us to killH2026 our brotherH251 and 17coverH3680 upH3680 his bloodH1818? 2718ComeH1980, and let’s sellH4376 him to the IshmaelitesH3459 and not layH1961 our handsH3027 on him, for he is our brotherH251, our own fleshH1320.” And his brothersH251 listenedH8085 to him. 28Then someH376 19MidianiteH4084 tradersH5503 passedH5674 byH5674, so they pulledH4900 him outH4900 and liftedH5927 JosephH3130 out of the pitH953, and 20soldH4376 21him to the IshmaelitesH3459 for 22twentyH6242 shekels of silverH3701. So 23they broughtH935 JosephH3130 into EgyptH4714.
