Genesis 37:24 Context
22And Reuben saide vnto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hand vpon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliuer him to his father againe. 23¶ And it came to passe when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, that they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his coat of many colours that was on him. 24And they tooke him and cast him into a pit: and the pit was emptie, there was no water in it. 25And they sate downe to eat bread: and they lift vp their eyes and looked, and behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead, with their camels, bearing spicery, & baulme, and myrrhe, going to cary it downe to Egypt. 26And Iudah saide vnto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceale his blood?
