Genesis 37:22

And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood ; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness , but do not lay a hand on him — that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father .

“Don`t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern here in the wilderness, but don`t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.

And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
