Genesis 37:26-28

Good News Translation

²⁶ Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain by killing our brother and covering up the murder? ²⁷ Let's sell him to these Ishmaelites. Then we won't have to hurt him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed, ^28 (A)and when some Midianite traders came by, the brothers^[a] pulled Joseph out of the well and sold him for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
