Genesis 37:22-24

Jubilee Bible 2000

²² And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood but cast him into this cistern 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.

²³ ¶ And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;

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