21 But when Reuben heard that, he deliuered him out of their handes, and saide, Let vs not kill him. 22 Also Reuben saide vnto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pitte that is in the wildernesse, and lay no hande vpon him. Thus he said, that he might deliuer him out of their hand, and restore him to his father againe. 23 Now when Ioseph was come vnto his brethren, they stript Ioseph out of his coate, his particoloured coate that was vpon him. 24 And they tooke him, and cast him into a pit, and the pit was emptie, without water in it.
