Genesis 37:28-36

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. 29And ReubenH7205 returnedH7725 unto the pitH953; and, beholdH2009, JosephH3130 was notH369 in the pitH953; and he rent his clothesH899. 30And he returnedH7725 unto his brethrenH251, and saidH559, The childH3206 is notH369; and I, whither shall I goH935? 31And they tookH3947 Joseph’sH3130 coatH3801, and killedH7819 a he-goat, and dippedH2881 the coatH3801 in the bloodH1818; 32and they sentH7971 the coatH3801 of many colours, and they broughtH935 it to their fatherH1; and saidH559, This have weH518 foundH4672: knowH5234 nowH4994 whetherH518 it be thy son’sH1121 coatH3801 or notH3808. 33And he knew it, and saidH559, It is my son’sH1121 coatH3801; an evilH7451 beastH2416 hath devouredH398 him; JosephH3130 is without doubt tornH2963 in piecesH2963. 34And JacobH3290 rent his garmentsH8071, and putH7760 sackclothH8242 uponH5921 his loinsH4975, and mournedH56 for his sonH1121 manyH7227 daysH3117. 35And allH3605 his sonsH1121 and allH3605 his daughtersH1323 roseH6965 upH6965 to comfortH5162 him; but he refusedH3985 to be comfortedH5162; and he saidH559, For I will goH3381 downH3381 to the grave to my sonH1121 mourningH57. And his fatherH1 weptH1058 for him. 36And the Midianites soldH4376 him intoH413 EgyptH4714 unto PotipharH6318, an officerH5631 of Pharaoh’sH6547, the captainH8269 of the guardH2876.
