29 E Rúben voltou à cisterna, e não achou a José dentro, e rasgou suas roupas.

30 E voltou a seus irmãos e disse: O jovem não aparece; e eu, aonde irei eu?

31 Então eles tomaram a roupa de José, e degolaram um cabrito das cabras, e tingiram a roupa com o sangue;

32 E enviaram a roupa de cores e trouxeram-na a seu pai, e disseram: Achamos isto, reconhece agora se é ou não a roupa de teu filho.

33 E ele a reconheceu, e disse: A roupa de meu filho é; alguma fera selvagem o devorou; José foi despedaçado.
