Genesis 37:34 in Context — Genesis 37
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!
34 Et il déchira ses vêtements, il mit un sac sur ses reins, et il porta longtemps le deuil de son fils.
35 Tous ses fils et toutes ses filles vinrent pour le consoler; mais il ne voulut recevoir aucune consolation. Il disait: C’est en pleurant que je descendrai vers mon fils au séjour des morts! Et il pleurait son fils.
36 Les Madianites le vendirent en Égypte à Potiphar, officier de Pharaon, chef des gardes.
