      23When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him;

      24and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.

      25They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

      26Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

      27Come, and let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh.” His brothers listened to him.

      28Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. The merchants brought Joseph into Egypt.

      4Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

      5Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

      6For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.

      7God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

      8So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
