Genesis 37:28–36

²⁸Then there passed by ^wMidianites merchantmen; and they drew and lift up Joseph out of the pit, ^xand sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty ^ypieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. ²⁹And Reuben returned unto the pit; and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he ^zrent his clothes. ³⁰And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child ^ais not; and I, whither shall I go? ³¹And they took ^bJoseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; ³²and they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: ^cknow now whether it be thy son’s coat or no. ³³And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an ^devil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. ³⁴And Jacob ^erent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. ³⁵And all his sons and all his daughters ^frose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For ^gI will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. ³⁶And ^hthe Medanites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
