And they said one to an-o-ther, Be-hold, this dream-er com-eth.
Come now, there-fore, and let us slay him, and cast him in-to some pit ;  and we will say,  Some e-vil beast hath de-vour-ed him :  and we shall see what will be-come of his dreams.
And Reu-ben heard it, and he de-liv-er-ed him out of their hands :  and said, Let us not kill him.
And Reu-ben said un-to them,  Shed no blood, but cast him in-to this pit that is in the wil-der-ness, and lay no hand up-on him ;  that he might rid him out of their hands, to de-liv-er him to his fa-ther a-gain.
And it came to pass, when Jo-seph was come un-to his brethren, that they strip-ped Jo-seph out of his coat, his coat of ma-ny co-lours, that was on him :  And they took him, and cast him in-to a pit :  and the pit was emp-ty, there was no wa-ter in it.

And A-bra-ham stretch-ed forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
And the an-gel of the Lord call-ed un-to him out of hea-ven, and said,  A-bra-ham,  A-bra-ham :  and he said, Here am I.
And he said, Lay not thine hand up-on the lad, nei-ther do thou a-ny thing un-to him :  for now I know that thou fear-est God, see-ing thou hast not with-held thy son, thine on-ly son, from me.
And A-bra-ham lift-ed up his eyes, and look-ed, and, be-hold, behind him a ram caught in a thick-et by his horns ;  and A-bra-ham went and took the ram, and of-fer-ed him up for a burnt-of-fer-ing in the stead of his son.
And A-bra-ham call-ed the name of that place Je-ho-vah-ji-reh :  as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
