13 “He has put my family far from me,
    and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
14 My relatives and my close friends have failed me;
15     the guests in my house have forgotten me;
my female servants count me as a stranger;
    I have become an alien in their eyes.(A)
16 I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer;
    I must myself plead with him.
17 My breath is repulsive to my wife;
    I am loathsome to my own family.

    when I rise, they talk against me.(B)
19 All my intimate friends abhor me,
    and those whom I love have turned against me.(C)

17 The man said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.(A) 18 They saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them they conspired to kill him.(B) 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.”(C) 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.(D) 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?(E) 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.(F) 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.(G)

  1. 37.23 Or (compare Gk): a coat of many colors; meaning of Heb uncertain

17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.(A)’”

So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.(B)

19 “Here comes that dreamer!(C)” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns(D) and say that a ferocious animal(E) devoured him.(F) Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”(G)

21 When Reuben(H) heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said.(I) 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern(J) 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.(K)

23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(L) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(M) 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(N) coming from Gilead.(O) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(P) and myrrh,(Q) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(R)

26 Judah(S) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(T) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(U) our own flesh and blood.(V)” His brothers agreed.

28 So when the Midianite(W) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(X) and sold(Y) him for twenty shekels[a] of silver(Z) to the Ishmaelites,(AA) who took him to Egypt.(AB)
