Genesis 37:31 in Context — Genesis 37

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.

32 Ils envoyèrent à leur père la tunique de plusieurs couleurs, en lui faisant dire: Voici ce que nous avons trouvé! Reconnais si c’est la tunique de ton fils, ou non.

33 Jacob la reconnut, et dit: C’est la tunique de mon fils! une bête féroce l’a dévoré! Joseph a été mis en pièces!
