Genesis 37:22-24

21st Century King James Version

²² 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.

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

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