Genesis 37:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?

²⁷ It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.

²⁸ And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.
