037:014 He said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again." So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 037:015 A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, "What are you looking for?" 037:016 He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock." 037:017 The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan. 037:018 They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him. 037:019 They said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer comes. 037:020 Come now therefore, and let's kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, 'An evil animal has devoured him.' We will see what will become of his dreams." 037:021 Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, "Let's not take his life." 037:022 Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"-- that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father. 037:023 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him; 037:024 and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it. 037:025 They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 037:026 Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 037:027 Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh." His brothers listened to him. 037:028 Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph into Egypt. 037:029 Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn't in the pit; and he tore his clothes. 037:030 He returned to his brothers, and said, "The child is no more; and I, where will I go?" 037:031 They took Joseph's coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood. 037:032 They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, "We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son's coat or not." 037:033 He recognized it, and said, "It is my son's coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces."
