Genesis 37:36

← Genesis 37:35	Genesis 37:36 (KJV)	Genesis 38:1 →
And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.	And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.	And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name [was] Hirah.
