There was no water in it.
037:025 They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked,
and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead,
with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh,
going to carry it down to Egypt.
037:026 Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill
our brother and conceal his blood?
037:027 Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let
our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh."
His brothers listened to him.
037:028 Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted
up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites
for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph into Egypt.
037:029 Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn't in the pit;
and he tore his clothes.
037:030 He returned to his brothers, and said, "The child is no more;
and I, where will I go?"
037:031 They took Joseph's coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped
the coat in the blood.
037:032 They took the coat of many colors, and they brought
it to their father, and said, "We have found this.
Examine it, now, whether it is your son's coat or not."
037:033 He recognized it, and said, "It is my son's coat.
An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt
torn in pieces."
037:034 Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist,
and mourned for his son many days.
037:035 All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him,
but he refused to be comforted. He said, "For I will go down
to Sheol{Sheol is the place of the dead.} to my son mourning."
