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.
