Jacob Deceived and Mourns

Genesis 37:31-36

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!'

And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days,

and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, `For--I go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth for him.

And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners.
