27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. |
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. |
29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. |
30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? |
