18 But they saw him coming way off in the distance, and before he got to them, they made plans to kill him.19 “Look, here comes the Lord of Dreams!” they said to each other.20 “Come on, let's kill him and throw him into one of the pits. We'll say that some wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what happens to his dreams!”

21 When Reuben heard all this, he tried to save Joseph from them.22 “Let's not attack and kill him,” he suggested. “Don't murder him, just throw him into this pit here in the desert. You don't need to be guilty of violence.” Reuben said this so that he could come back later and rescue Joseph from them and take him home to his father.
