Genesis 37:22-24

Darby Translation

²² And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood: cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness; but lay no hand upon him—in order that he might deliver him out of their hand, to bring him to his father again.

²³ And it came to pass when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his vest, the vest of many colours, which he had on;

²⁴ and they took him and cast him into the pit; now the pit was empty—there was no water in it.
