Genesis 37:22-24

Young's Literal Translation

²² and Reuben saith unto them, `Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' -- in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father.

²³ And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which [is] upon him,

²⁴ and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is] empty, there is no water in it.
