Genesis 37:22-24

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

²⁴ And they took him and cast him into a pit; and the pit was empty, without water in it.
