23 So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they astripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him.
24 Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 aAnd they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of bIshmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, cbalm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
26 So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and aconceal his blood?
27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and alet not our hand be upon him, for he is bour brother and cour flesh.” And his brothers listened.
