25 Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a caravan of ^gIshmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing ^hgum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt.

27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him.

28 Then ^jMidianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and ^ksold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels¹ of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.
