Genesis 37:31-35
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
31 Then they took Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a goat, and dipped the robe in the blood.(A) 32 They had the ornamented robe[a] taken to their father, and they said, “This we have found; see now whether it is your son’s robe or not.” 33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! A wild animal has devoured him; Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”(B) 34 Then Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.(C) 35 All his sons and all his daughters sought to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and said, “No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” Thus his father bewailed him.(D)
