37:26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
37:27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let’s not lay a hand on him,
for after all, he is our brother, our own flesh.” His brothers agreed.

then took Joseph to Egypt.

5:5 And now, though we share the same flesh and blood as our fellow countrymen,
and our children are just like their children,
still we have found it necessary to subject our sons and daughters to slavery.
Some of our daughters have been subjected to slavery, while we are powerless to help,
since our fields and vineyards now belong to other people.”
