They took Yosef's coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
It happened, when Yosef came to his brothers, that they stripped Yosef of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;
Now Yisra'el loved Yosef more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.
They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, *We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son's coat or not.*
and the one went out from me, and I said, *Surely he is torn in pieces;* and I haven't seen him since.
They told him, saying, *Yosef is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.* His heart fainted, for he didn't believe them.
He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
