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.
28 Then aMidianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, band sold him to the Ishmaelites for ctwenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.
29 Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he atore his clothes.
30 And he returned to his brothers and said, “The lad ais no more; and I, where shall I go?”
