Génesis 37:26 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 37:26

And Judah said unto his brethren
In sight of the Ishmaelites, a thought came into his mind to get Joseph sold to them;

what profit [is it] if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
it could be no advantage to them even if they could have concealed his blood from men; and if it was discovered, as it would, in all likelihood, by come means or another, then they must be answerable for it; and if not, God would take vengeance on them, from whom they could never conceal it; and therefore it would be most profitable and advantageous to them to sell him, and not destroy him, or take away his life; and to suffer him to lie in the pit and die was the same thing.

Génesis 37:26 In-Context

24 y lo tomaron y lo echaron en el pozo. Y el pozo estaba vacío, no había agua en él.
25 Entonces se sentaron a comer, y cuando levantaron los ojos y miraron, he aquí, una caravana de ismaelitas venía de Galaad con sus camellos cargados de resina aromática, bálsamo y mirra, que iban bajando hacia Egipto.
26 Y Judá dijo a sus hermanos: ¿Qué ganaremos con matar a nuestro hermano y ocultar su sangre?
27 Venid, vendámoslo a los ismaelitas y no pongamos las manos sobre él, pues es nuestro hermano, carne nuestra. Y sus hermanos le hicieron caso.
28 Pasaron entonces unos mercaderes madianitas, y ellos sacaron a José, subiéndolo del pozo, y vendieron a José a los ismaelitas por veinte piezas de plata. Y éstos llevaron a José a Egipto.
