4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.(A)
5 Once Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more. 6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream that I dreamed. 7 There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright; then your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”(B) 8 His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Are you indeed to have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more because of his dreams and his words.(C)
9 He had another dream and told it to his brothers, saying, “Look, I have had another dream: the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What kind of dream is this that you have had? Shall we indeed come, I and your mother and your brothers, and bow to the ground before you?”(D) 11 So his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.(E)

Joseph Forgives His Brothers
15 Realizing that their father was dead, Joseph’s brothers said, “What if Joseph still bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all the wrong that we did to him?”(A) 16 So they approached[a] Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this instruction before he died, 17 ‘Say to Joseph: I beg you, forgive the crime of your brothers and the wrong they did in harming you.’ Now therefore please forgive the crime of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. 18 Then his brothers also wept,[b] fell down before him, and said, “We are here as your slaves.”(B) 19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid! Am I in the place of God?(C) 20 Even though you intended to do harm to me, God intended it for good, in order to preserve a numerous people, as he is doing today.(D)

Joseph Reassures His Brothers
15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge(A) against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?”(B) 16 So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions(C) before he died: 17 ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins(D) and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’(E) Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.(F)” When their message came to him, Joseph wept.(G)
18 His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him.(H) “We are your slaves,”(I) they said.
19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?(J) 20 You intended to harm me,(K) but God intended(L) it for good(M) to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.(N)

18 They saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them they conspired to kill him.(A) 19 They said to one another, “Here comes this dreamer. 20 Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild animal has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams.” 21 But when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hands, saying, “Let us not take his life.”(B) 22 Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand and restore him to his father. 23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the ornamented robe[a] that he wore, 24 and they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 Then they sat down to eat, and looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels carrying gum, balm, and resin, on their way to carry it down to Egypt.(C) 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?(D) 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers agreed.(E) 28 When some Midianite traders passed by, they drew Joseph up, lifting him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.(F)
29 When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothes.(G)

18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.(A)
19 “Here comes that dreamer!(B)” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns(C) and say that a ferocious animal(D) devoured him.(E) Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”(F)
21 When Reuben(G) heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said.(H) 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern(I) here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.(J)
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(K) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(L) The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites(M) coming from Gilead.(N) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(O) and myrrh,(P) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(Q)
26 Judah(R) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(S) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(T) our own flesh and blood.(U)” His brothers agreed.
28 So when the Midianite(V) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(W) and sold(X) him for twenty shekels[a] of silver(Y) to the Ishmaelites,(Z) who took him to Egypt.(AA)
29 When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.(AB)
