And it came to pass when Joseph came to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his vest, the vest of many colours, which he had on;

And they took Joseph's vest, and slaughtered a buck of the goats, and dipped the vest in the blood;

and they sent the vest of many colours and had it carried to their father, and said, This have we found: discern now whether it is thy son's vest or not.

And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was son of his old age; and he made him a vest of many colours.

And he discerned it, and said, It is my son's vest! an evil beast has devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!
