Genesis 37:20-35

37:20

Come
<03212> (8798)

now therefore, and let us slay
<02026> (8799)

him, and cast
<07993> (8686)

him into some
<0259>

pit
<0953>_,

and we will say
<0559> (8804)_,

Some evil
<07451>

beast
<02416>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

him: and we shall see
<07200> (8799)

what will become of his dreams
<02472>_.

37:21

And Reuben
<07205>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], and he delivered
<05337> (8686)

him out of their hands
<03027>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us not kill
<05221> (8686) <05315>

him.

37:22

And Reuben
<07205>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Shed
<08210> (8799)

no blood
<01818>_,

[but] cast
<07993> (8685)

him into this pit
<0953>

that [is] in the wilderness
<04057>_,

and lay
<07971> (8799)

no hand
<03027>

upon him; that he might rid
<05337> (8687)

him out of their hands
<03027>_,

to deliver
<07725> (0)

him to his father
<01>

again
<07725> (8687)_.

37:23

And it came to pass, when Joseph
<03130>

was come
<0935> (8804)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

that they stript
<06584> (8686) <0853>

Joseph
<03130>

out of
<0854>

his coat
<03801>_,

[his] coat
<03801>

of [many] colours
<06446>

that [was] on him; {colours: or, pieces}

37:24

And they took
<03947> (8799)

him, and cast
<07993> (8686)

him into a pit
<0953>_:

and the pit
<0953>

[was] empty
<07386>_,

[there was] no water
<04325>

in it.

37:25

And they sat down
<03427> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

bread
<03899>_:

and they lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their eyes
<05869>

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, a company
<0736>

of Ishmeelites
<03459>

came
<0935> (8802)

from Gilead
<01568>

with their camels
<01581>

bearing
<05375> (8802)

spicery
<05219>

and balm
<06875>

and myrrh
<03910>_,

going
<01980> (8802)

to carry [it] down
<03381> (8687)

to Egypt
<04714>_.

37:26

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

What profit
<01215>

[is it] if we slay
<02026> (8799)

our brother
<0251>_,

and conceal
<03680> (8765)

his blood
<01818>_?

37:27

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us sell
<04376> (8799)

him to the Ishmeelites
<03459>_,

and let not our hand
<03027>

be upon him; for he [is] our brother
<0251>

[and] our flesh
<01320>_.

And his brethren
<0251>

were content
<08085> (8799)_.

{were...: Heb. hearkened}

37:28

Then there passed
<05674> (8799)

by Midianites
<04084>

merchantmen
<0582> <05503> (8802)_;

and they drew
<04900> (8799)

and lifted up
<05927> (8686)

Joseph
<03130>

out of the pit
<0953>_,

and sold
<04376> (8799)

Joseph
<03130>

to the Ishmeelites
<03459>

for twenty
<06242>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_:

and they brought
<0935> (8686)

Joseph
<03130>

into Egypt
<04714>_.

37:29

And Reuben
<07205>

returned
<07725> (8799)

unto the pit
<0953>_;

and, behold, Joseph
<03130>

[was] not in the pit
<0953>_;

and he rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_.

37:30

And he returned
<07725> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The child
<03206>

[is] not; and I, whither
<0575>

shall I go
<0935> (8802)_?

37:31

And they took
<03947> (8799)

Joseph's
<03130>

coat
<03801>_,

and killed
<07819> (8799)

a kid
<08163>

of the goats
<05795>_,

and dipped
<02881> (8799)

the coat
<03801>

in the blood
<01818>_;

37:32

And they sent
<07971> (8762)

the coat
<03801>

of [many] colours
<06446>_,

and they brought
<0935> (8686)

[it] to their father
<01>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

This have we found
<04672> (8804)_:

know
<05234> (8685)

now whether it [be] thy son's
<01121>

coat
<03801>

or no.

37:33

And he knew it
<05234> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] my son's
<01121>

coat
<03801>_;

an evil
<07451>

beast
<02416>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

him; Joseph
<03130>

is without doubt
<02963> (8800)

rent in pieces
<02963> (8776)_.

37:34

And Jacob
<03290>

rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<08071>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

upon his loins
<04975>_,

and mourned
<056> (8691)

for his son
<01121>

many
<07227>

days
<03117>_.

37:35

And all his sons
<01121>

and all his daughters
<01323>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

to comfort
<05162> (8763)

him; but he refused
<03985> (8762)

to be comforted
<05162> (8692)_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

For I will go down
<03381> (8799)

into the grave
<07585>

unto my son
<01121>

mourning
<057>_.

Thus his father
<01>

wept
<01058> (8799)

for him.

Genesis 43:14

43:14

And God
<0410>

Almighty
<07706>

give
<05414> (8799)

you mercy
<07356>

before
<06440>

the man
<0376>_,

that he may send away
<07971> (8765)

your other
<0312>

brother
<0251>_,

and Benjamin
<01144>_.

If
<0834>

I be bereaved
<07921> (8804)

[of my children], I am bereaved
<07921> (8804)_.

{If...: or, And I, as I have been, etc.}
