And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he is a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat;

And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat which is upon him,

And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of the goats, and dip the coat in the blood,

and send the long coat, and they bring it in unto their father, and say, 'This have we found; discern, we pray thee, whether it is thy son's coat or not?'

And he discerneth it, and saith, 'My son's coat! an evil beast hath devoured him; torn -- torn is Joseph!'
