37:14. I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem: 37:15. And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought. 37:16. But he answered: I seek my brethren, tell me where they feed the flocks. 37:17. And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain. 37:18. And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him: 37:19. And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh. 37:20. Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him: 37:21. And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said: 37:22. Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father. 37:23. And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours: 37:24. And cast him into an old pit where there was not water. 37:25.

It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words. 37:28. And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt. 37:29. And Ruben returning to the pit, found not the boy: 37:30. And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go? 37:31. And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed: 37:32. Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son's coat, or not. 37:33. And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph. 37:34. And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time. 37:35. And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning.
