Genesis 37:26-28
New King James Version
26 So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and (A)conceal his blood? 27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and (B)let not our hand be upon him, for he is (C)our brother and (D)our flesh.” And his brothers listened. 28 Then (E)Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, (F)and sold him to the Ishmaelites for (G)twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.
