Genesis 37:18-24
181When they sawH7200 him from a distanceH7350, and beforeH2962 he cameH7126 closerH7126 to them, they 2plottedH5230 againstH854 him to putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191. 19They saidH559 to oneH376 anotherH251, “3HereH2009 comesH935 thisH1976 dreamerH1167H2472! 20NowH6258 then, comeH1980 and let’s killH2026 him, and throwH7993 him into oneH259 of the pitsH953; and 4we will sayH559, ‘A viciousH7451 animalH2421 devouredH398 him.’ Then we will seeH7200 whatH4100 will becomeH1961 of his dreamsH2472!” 21But 5ReubenH7205 heardH8085 this and rescuedH5337 him out of their handsH3027 6by sayingH559, “Let’s not 7takeH5221 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 8reachedH935 his brothersH251, that they strippedH6584 JosephH3130 of his tunicH3801, the 9multicoloredH6446 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.
