26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and cover up his blood? 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let’s not lay a hand on him, for after all, he is our brother, our own flesh.” His brothers agreed. 28 So when the Midianite merchants passed by, Joseph’s brothers pulled him out of the cistern and sold him to the Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites then took Joseph to Egypt. 29 Later Reuben returned to the cistern to find that Joseph was not in it! He tore his clothes, 30 returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy isn’t there! And I, where can I go?”

26 Then Ioudas said to his brothers, “What advantage is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to these Ismaelites, but let our hands not be upon him, because he is our brother and our flesh.” And his brothers listened. 28 And some Madienite traders were passing by, and they drew out and brought up Ioseph from the pit and sold Ioseph to the Ismaelites for twenty gold pieces, and they brought Ioseph down to Egypt. 29 Then Rouben returned to the pit, and he did not see Ioseph in the pit, and he tore his clothes. 30 And he returned to his brothers and said, “The youngster is not thereb, and I, where shall I yet go?”
