Genesis 37:23-28

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.

25And they satH3427 downH3381 to eatH398 breadH3899: and they liftedH5375 upH5375 their eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, a travelling company of IshmaelitesH3459 cameH935 from GileadH1568, with their camelsH1581 bearingH5375 spicery and balmH6875 and myrrhH3910, goingH1980 to carryH5375 it downH3381 to EgyptH4714.

26And JudahH3063 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, WhatH4100 profitH1215 is it ifH3588 weH3588 slayH2026 our brotherH251 and concealH3680 his bloodH1818?

27ComeH1961, and letH408 usH3588 sellH4376 him to the IshmaelitesH3459, and letH408 notH408 our handH3027 be uponH1961 him; for he is our brotherH251, our fleshH1320. And his brethrenH251 hearkened unto him.

28And there passedH5674 by MidianitesH4084, merchantmen; and they drewH4900 and liftedH5927 upH5927 JosephH3130 outH4480 of the pitH953, and soldH4376 JosephH3130 to the IshmaelitesH3459 for twentyH6242 pieces of silverH3701. And they broughtH935 JosephH3130 intoH935 EgyptH4714.
