23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, ^xthe robe of many colors that he wore.

31 Then they took ⁱJoseph’s robe and slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood. 32 And they sent the robe of many colors and brought it to their father and said, “This we have found; please identify whether it is your son’s robe or not.” 33 And he identified it and said, “It is my son’s robe. ^jA fierce animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces.”
