Genesis 37:21-23

Revised Geneva Translation

²¹ But when Reuben heard that, he delivered him out of their hands, and said, “Let us not kill him.”

²² And Reuben said to them, “Do not shed blood. Cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness; and lay no hand upon him.” (so that he might deliver him out of their hand and restore him to his father)

²³ Now, when Joseph had come to his brothers, they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his parti-colored coat that was upon him.
