17 And the man said, “They have departed from here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in (A)Dothan.

18 Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, (B)they conspired against him to kill him. 19 Then they said to one another, “Look, this [a]dreamer is coming! 20 (C)Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, ‘Some wild beast has devoured him.’ We shall see what will become of his dreams!”

21 But (D)Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, “Let us not kill him.” 22 And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.

23 So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they (E)stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him. 24 Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.

25 (F)And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of (G)Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, (H)balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt. 26 So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and (I)conceal his blood? 27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and (J)let not our hand be upon him, for he is (K)our brother and (L)our flesh.” And his brothers listened. 28 Then (M)Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, (N)and sold him to the Ishmaelites for (O)twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

  1. Genesis 37:19 Lit. master of dreams

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)
