Correct Answer

Explanation

Joseph's brothers had gone to Shechem to take care of their father's flock when they saw him in the distance and before he reached them, they plotted against him and decided to kill him. Judah said to his brothers, what will we gain by killing our brother and covering up the murder? Let's sell him to these Ishmaelites. Then we won't have to hurt him after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood. His brothers agreed, and when some Midianite traders came by, the brothers pulled Joseph out of the well and sold him to the Ishmaelites. Genensis 37:1-36
