01:037:016 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 01:037:017 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. 01:037:018 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. 01:037:019 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. 01:037:020 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. 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.
