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.
01:038:002 And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose
name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
01:038:003 And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name
Er.
01:038:004 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his
name Onan.
01:038:005 And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his
name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
01:038:006 And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was
Tamar.
01:038:007 And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the
LORD; and the LORD slew him.
01:038:008 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and
marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
01:038:009 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came
to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on
the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
