01:037:021 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands;
           and said, Let us not kill him.

01:037:022 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into
           this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him;
           that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to
           his father again.

01:037:023 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren,
           that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many
           colours that was on him;

01:037:024 And they took him, and cast him into a pit:  and the pit was
           empty, there was no water in it.

01:037:025 And they sat down to eat bread:  and they lifted up their eyes
           and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from
           Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh,
           going to carry it down to Egypt.

01:037:026 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay
           our brother, and conceal his blood?

01:037:027 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our
           hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh.  And his
           brethren were content.

01:037:028 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and
           lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the
           Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver:  and they brought
           Joseph into Egypt.

01:037:029 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not
           in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

01:037:030 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not;
           and I, whither shall I go?

01:037:031 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats,
           and dipped the coat in the blood;

01:037:032 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to
           their father; and said, This have we found:  know now whether
           it be thy son’s coat or no.

01:037:033 And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast
           hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

01:037:034 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins,
           and mourned for his son many days.

01:037:035 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him;
           but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go
           down into the grave unto my son mourning.  Thus his father wept
           for him.

01:037:036 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an
           officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.

01:038:001 And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from
           his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose
           name was Hirah.
