Genesis 37:18-24

18And when they sawH7200 him afar offH7350, even before he came nearH7126 to them, they conspiredH5230 against him to slayH4191 him. 19And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Behold, thisH1976 dreamerH1167H2472 is comingH935.1 20ComeH3212 now therefore, and let us slayH2026 him, and castH7993 him into someH259 pitH953, and we will sayH559, Some evilH7451 beastH2416 hath devouredH398 him: and we shall seeH7200 what will become of his dreamsH2472. 21And ReubenH7205 heardH8085 it, and he deliveredH5337 him from their handsH3027; and saidH559, Let us not killH5221H5315 him. 22And ReubenH7205 saidH559 to them, ShedH8210 no bloodH1818, castH7993 him into this pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, and layH7971 no handH3027 upon him; that he might deliverH5337 him from their handsH3027, to bring him backH7725 to his fatherH1.

23And it came to pass, when JosephH3130 had comeH935 to his brethrenH251, that they strippedH6584H853 JosephH3130 ofH854 his coatH3801, his coatH3801 of many coloursH6446 that was on him;2 24And they tookH3947 him, and castH7993 him into a pitH953: and the pitH953 was emptyH7386, there was no waterH4325 in it.
