Genesis 37:23-28

23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, ^athe robe of many colors that he wore. 24 And they took him and ^bthrew him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.

25 Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a ^ccaravan of ^dIshmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing ^egum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it ^fif we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and ^glet not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. 28 Then ^hMidianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and ⁱsold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels ^{▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams} of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.
