Genesis 37:22-24

Modern English Version

²² Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood, but throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him,” so that he might rescue him out of their hands and deliver him to his father again.

²³ When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his coat—his coat of many colors that he had on. ²⁴ And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty, and there was no water in it.
