21 But Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hands, and said, |Let’s not take his life.| 22 Reuben said to them, |Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him|—that he might deliver him out of their hands, to restore him to his father. 23 It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the long ornamented robe that he was wearing. 24 And they took him and threw him into the cistern. (Now the pit was empty. There was no water in it.) Genesis 37:21-24, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
