Genesis 37:22-24

New Life Version

²² Reuben then said, “Do not put him to death. Throw him into this hole here in the desert. But do not lay a hand on him.” He wanted to be able to save Joseph and return him to his father.

²³ So when Joseph came to his brothers, they tore off his coat, the coat of many colors that he was wearing. ²⁴ And they took him and threw him into the hole. The hole was empty and had no water in it.
