Genesis 37:29-35

29Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

30And he returned to his brothers and said, “The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?”

31So they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.

32Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”

33And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.”

34Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

35And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.
