21 And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand, and saith, 'Let us not smite the life;' 22 and Reuben saith unto them, 'Shed no blood; cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand upon him,' -- in order to deliver him out of their hand, to bring him back unto his father. 23 And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which is upon him, 24 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit is empty, there is no water in it.
