'Rent' in the Bible

And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
