Genesis 37:25-27

Amplified Bible

²⁵ Then they sat down to eat their meal. When they looked up, they saw a caravan of ^[a]Ishmaelites coming from Gilead [east of the Jordan], with their camels bearing ladanum resin [for perfume] and balm and ^[b]myrrh, going on their way to carry the cargo down to Egypt. ²⁶ Judah said to his brothers, “What do we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood (murder)? ²⁷ Come, let us [instead] sell him to these Ishmaelites [and ^[c]Midianites] and not lay our hands on him, because he is our brother and our flesh.” So his brothers listened to him and agreed.^(A)
