29. And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his garments,
30. and returned to his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, where shall I go?
31. And they took Joseph's vest, and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the vest in the blood;
32. and they sent the vest of many colours and had it carried to their father, and said, This have we found: discern now whether it is thy son's vest or not.
33. And he discerned it, and said, It is my son's vest! an evil beast has devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!
34. And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
