*
Come now therefore ,
and let us slay him ,
and cast him into some pit ,
and we will say ,
Some evil beast hath devoured him :
and we shall see what will become of his dreams .
*
And Reuben heard it ,
and he delivered him out of their hands ;
and said ,
Let us not kill him .
*
And Reuben said unto them ,
Shed no blood ,
but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness ,
and lay no hand upon him ;
that he might rid him out of their hands ,
to deliver him to his father again .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Joseph was come unto his brethren ,
that they stript Joseph out of his coat ,
his coat of many colours that was on him ;
*
And they took him ,
and cast him into a pit :
and the pit was empty ,
there was no water in it .
*
And they sat down to eat bread :
and they lifted up their eyes and looked ,
and ,
behold ,
a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh ,
going to carry it down to Egypt .
*
And Judah said unto his brethren ,
What profit is it if we slay our brother ,
and conceal his blood ?
