Genesis 37:26 in Context — Genesis 37

24 E tomaram-no, e lançaram-lhe na cisterna; mas a cisterna estava vazia, não havia nela água.

25 E sentaram-se a comer pão: e levantando os olhos olharam, e eis uma companhia de ismaelitas que vinha de Gileade, e seus camelos traziam aromas e bálsamo e mirra, e iam a levá-lo ao Egito.

26 Então Judá disse a seus irmãos: Que proveito há em que matemos a nosso irmão e encubramos sua morte?

27 Vinde, e o vendamos aos ismaelitas, e não seja nossa mão sobre ele; que nosso irmão é nossa carne. E seus irmãos concordaram com ele.

28 E quando passavam os midianitas mercadores, tiraram eles a José da cisterna, e trouxeram-lhe acima, e o venderam aos ismaelitas por vinte peças de prata. E levaram a José ao Egito.
