Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of ^(B)Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, ^(C)balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt. ²⁶ So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and ^(D)conceal his blood? ²⁷ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and ^(E)let not our hand be upon him, for he is ^(F)our brother and ^(G)our flesh.” And his brothers listened. ²⁸ Then ^(H)Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, ^(I)and sold him to the Ishmaelites for ^(J)twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.
