Genesis 37:26-28
English Standard Version
26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it (A)if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and (B)let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. 28 Then (C)Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and (D)sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels[a] of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.
