Genesis 37:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ They took Joseph’s tunic, slaughtered a goat, and dipped the tunic in its blood. ³² They then sent their father the long tunic and dispatched this message, “We have found this; do you know if this is your son’s tunic?”

³³ He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic! A wild animal has devoured him. Joseph has been torn to pieces.”
