27Come, 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.
28Midianites 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.
29Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn`t in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
30He returned to his brothers, and said, "The child is no more; and I, where will I go?"
31They took Joseph`s coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
32They 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."
33He recognized it, and said, "It is my son`s coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces."
