Genesis 37:26-28

English Standard Version

²⁶ Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it ^(A)if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? ²⁷ Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and ^(B)let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. ²⁸ Then ^(C)Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and ^(D)sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels^[a] of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.
