Genesis 37:29 in Context — Genesis 37
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.
29 Ruben revint à la citerne; et voici, Joseph n’était plus dans la citerne. Il déchira ses vêtements,
30 retourna vers ses frères, et dit: L’enfant n’y est plus! Et moi, où irai-je?
31 Ils prirent alors la tunique de Joseph; et, ayant tué un bouc, ils plongèrent la tunique dans le sang.
