Genesis 37:26 in Context — Genesis 37
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.
26 Alors Juda dit à ses frères: Que gagnerons-nous à tuer notre frère et à cacher son sang?
27 Venez, vendons-le aux Ismaélites, et ne mettons pas la main sur lui, car il est notre frère, notre chair. Et ses frères l’écoutèrent.
28 Au passage des marchands madianites, ils tirèrent et firent remonter Joseph hors de la citerne; et ils le vendirent pour vingt sicles d’argent aux Ismaélites, qui l’emmenèrent en Égypte.
