Genesis 37:26-28

International Children’s Bible

²⁶ Then Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and hide his death? ²⁷ Let’s sell him to these Ishmaelites. Then we will not be guilty of killing our own brother. After all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” And the other brothers agreed. ²⁸ So when the Midianite traders came by, the brothers took Joseph out of the well. They sold him to the Ishmaelites for eight ounces of silver. And the Ishmaelites took him to Egypt.
