Genesis 37:23 in Context — Genesis 37

21 Ruben entendit cela, et il le délivra de leurs mains. Il dit: Ne lui ôtons pas la vie.

22 Ruben leur dit: Ne répandez point de sang; jetez-le dans cette citerne qui est au désert, et ne mettez pas la main sur lui. Il avait dessein de le délivrer de leurs mains pour le faire retourner vers son père.

23 Lorsque Joseph fut arrivé auprès de ses frères, ils le dépouillèrent de sa tunique, de la tunique de plusieurs couleurs, qu’il avait sur lui.

24 Ils le prirent, et le jetèrent dans la citerne. Cette citerne était vide; il n’y avait point d’eau.

25 Ils s’assirent ensuite pour manger. Ayant levé les yeux, ils virent une caravane d’Ismaélites venant de Galaad; leurs chameaux étaient chargés d’aromates, de baume et de myrrhe, qu’ils transportaient en Égypte.
