nkjv Genesis:37:17-28
nkjv@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, "They have departed from here, for I heard them say, "Let us go to Dothan."' So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
nkjv@Genesis:37:18 @ Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.
nkjv@Genesis:37:19 @ Then they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming!
nkjv@Genesis:37:20 @ Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, "Some wild beast has devoured him.' We shall see what will become of his dreams!"
nkjv@Genesis:37:21 @ But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him."
nkjv@Genesis:37:22 @ And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him"--that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.
nkjv@Genesis:37:23 @ So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him.
nkjv@Genesis:37:24 @ Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
nkjv@Genesis:37:25 @ And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
nkjv@Genesis:37:26 @ So Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
nkjv@Genesis:37:27 @ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brothers listened.
nkjv@Genesis:37:28 @ Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.
