Genesis 37:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ Reuben heard them and tried to save Joseph. “Let's not kill him,” he said. ²² “Just throw him into this well in the wilderness, but don't hurt him.” He said this, planning to save him from them and send him back to his father. ²³ When Joseph came up to his brothers, they ripped off his long robe with full sleeves.^[a]
