27Let us give him to these Ishmaelites for a price, and let us not put violent hands on him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers gave ear to him.
28And some traders from Midian went by; so pulling Joseph up out of the hole, they gave him to the Ishmaelites for twenty bits of silver, and they took him to Egypt.
29Now when Reuben came back to the hole, Joseph was not there; and giving signs of grief,
30He went back to his brothers, and said, The child is gone; what am I to do?
31Then they took Joseph's coat, and put on it some of the blood from a young goat which they had put to death,
32And they took the coat to their father, and said, We came across this; is it your son's coat or not?
33And he saw that it was, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has put him to death; without doubt Joseph has come to a cruel end.
