Genesis 37:34-36
1599 Geneva Bible
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth about his loins, and sorrowed for his son a long season.
35 Then all his sons and his daughters arose up to comfort him, but he would not be comforted, but said, [a]Surely I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning: so his father wept for him.
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar [b]an Eunuch of Pharaoh’s and his [c]chief steward.
