And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
And it came to pass, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him,

He who covers his transgressions shall not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them shall obtain mercy.
And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, We have found this. Know now whether it is thy son's coat or not.
And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces, and I have not seen him since.
And they told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart fainted, for he did not believe them.
