Genesis 37:33-36 ▼

33 Examining it, he cried out, |It's my son's tunic! A wild animal has no doubt torn Joseph to pieces.|

34 So Jacob tore his clothes, dressed himself in sackcloth, and then mourned many days for his son.

35 All his sons and daughters showed up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He kept saying, |Leave me alone! I'll go down to the next world, still mourning for my son.| So Joseph's father wept for him.

36 Meanwhile, down in Egypt, the Midianites sold Joseph to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's court officials, who was also Commander-in-Chief of the imperial guards.
