Genesis 37:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there in killing our brother and concealing his blood? ²⁷ Come on, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him, since he is our brother, our own flesh.” His brothers listened to him. ²⁸ As the Midianites, who were merchants, were passing by, the brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces^[a] of silver. They brought Joseph to Egypt.
