Genesis 37:28-34

1. 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.

2. 29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

3. 30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

4. 31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

5. 32 And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

6. 33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

7. 34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
