18 And they saw him, afar off,––and, ere yet he drew near unto them, they conspired against him, to put him to death.
19 And they said, each man unto his brother, Lo! that master of dreams yonder, coming in!
20 Now, therefore, come! let us slay him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say––A cruel beast, hath devoured him,––And let us see what will become of his dreams.
21 And Reuben heard it, and rescued him out of their hand,––and said––Let us not smite him, so as to take his life!
22 And Reuben said unto them––Do not shed blood! Cast him into this pit, which is in the wilderness, but put not forth, a hand, against him! that he might rescue him out of their hand, to restore him unto his father.
23 So it came to pass, when Joseph had come in unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph of his tunic, the long tunic which was upon him, 24 and took him, and cast him into the pit,––but, the pit, was empty, there was in it, no water. 25 And, when they had sat down to eat bread, they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and lo! a caravan of Ishmaelites, coming in from Gilead,––and, their camels, were bearing tragacanth gum, and balsam and cistus–gum, they were going their way, to take them down to Egypt. 26 So Judah said unto his brethren,––What profit, that we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; but let not, our own hand, be upon him, for, our own brother, our own flesh, is he. And his brethren hearkened. 28 And there passed by certain Midianites, travelling merchants, so they drew forth and uplifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites, for twenty pieces of silver,––and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
