31 So they took ^aJoseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.  ‡

32 Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s tunic or not?”

34 Then Jacob ^atore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and ^bmourned for his son many days.  ‡

35 And all his sons and all his daughters ^aarose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “For ^bI shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.  ‡
