The King James Version Bible

Genesis 37:29-34

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

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

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

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