Genesis 37:28-30
Living Bible
28 So when the traders[a] came by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the well and sold him to them for twenty pieces of silver, and they took him along to Egypt. 29 Some time later, Reuben (who was away when the traders came by)[b] returned to get Joseph out of the well. When Joseph wasn’t there, he ripped at his clothes in anguish and frustration.
30 “The child is gone; and I, where shall I go now?” he wept to his brothers.
