Genesis 37:28–36

²⁸And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.

²⁹And Ruben returning to the pit, found not the boy:

³⁰And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go?

³¹And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:

³²Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son’s coat, or not.

³³And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son’s coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.

³⁴And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.

³⁵And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping,

³⁶The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
