Genesis 37:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, A wicked beast hath devoured him: then we shall see, what will come of his dreams.
21 (A)But when Reuben heard that, he delivered him out of their hands, and said, [a]Let us not kill him.
22 Also Reuben said unto them, Shed not blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him. Thus he said, that he might deliver him out of their hand, and restore him to his father.
