Genesis 37:26-28

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁶ Then Judah said to his brothers, “What does it profit us if we kill our brother yet keep his blood secret?

²⁷ “Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites; and do not let our hands be upon him. For he is our brother, our flesh.” And his brothers obeyed.

²⁸ Then, the Midianites’ merchant men passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit. And they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver, who brought Joseph into Egypt.
