Genesis 37:18-24

18And they sawH7200 him afarH7350 offH7350, and beforeH2962 he cameH7126 nearH7126 unto them, they conspired againstH413 him to slayH4191 him.

19And they saidH559 one to anotherH251, BeholdH2009, this dreamer cometh.

20ComeH1961 nowH6258 therefore, and letH6258 usH7200 slayH2026 him, and castH7993 him intoH7993 one of the pitsH953, and weH6258 will sayH559, An evilH7451 beastH2416 hath devouredH398 him: and weH6258 shall seeH7200 whatH4100 will becomeH1961 of his dreamsH2472.

21And ReubenH7205 heardH8085 it, and deliveredH5337 him outH3027 of their handH3027; and saidH559, LetH3808 usH5337 notH3808 takeH5221 his lifeH5315.

22And ReubenH7205 saidH559 unto them, ShedH8210 noH3808 bloodH1818; castH7993 him intoH413 this pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, but layH7971 noH3808 handH3027 uponH413 him: that he might deliverH5337 him outH7971 of their handH3027, to restoreH7725 him to his fatherH1.

23And it cameH935 to passH935, when JosephH3130 was comeH935 unto his brethrenH251, that they stript JosephH3130 of his coatH3801, the coatH3801 of many colours that was on him;

24and they tookH3947 him, and castH7993 him intoH7993 the pitH953: and the pitH953 was emptyH7386, there was noH369 waterH4325 in it.
