They saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they made a plot to kill him. " Here comes that dreamer,"  they said to one another. "Come on, let us kill him now and throw him down one of the storage-wells; we can say that some wild animal has devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams."

But Reuben heard, and he saved him from their clutches," We must not take his life," he said. " Shed no blood", said Reuben to them, "throw him down that well out in the desert, but do not kill him yourselves", intending to save him from them and to restore him to his father.

So when Joseph reached his brothers, they pulled off his tunic, the decorated tunic which he was wearing, and catching hold of him, threw him into the well.
The well was empty, with no water in it. They then sat down to eat.
