Genesis 37:20-22
New American Standard Bible
20 Now then, come and let’s kill him, and throw him into one of the pits; and (A)we will say, ‘A vicious animal devoured him.’ Then we will see what will become of his dreams!” 21 But (B)Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands [a]by saying, “Let’s not [b]take his life.” 22 Then Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”—so that later he might rescue him out of their hands, to return him to his father.
