Genesi 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.

Genesi 37:26 In-Context

24 Poi lo presero, e lo gittarono in quella fossa: or la fossa era vota, e non vi era acqua alcuna dentro.
25 Poi si assettarono per prender cibo, ed alzarono gli occhi, e videro una carovana d’Ismaeliti che veniva di Galaad, i cui cammelli erano carichi di cose preziose, di balsamo e di mirra; ed essi andavano per portar quelle cose in Egitto.
26 E Giuda disse a’ suoi fratelli: Che guadagno faremo, quando avremo ucciso il nostro fratello, ed avremo occultato il suo sangue?
27 Venite, vendiamolo a cotesti Ismaeliti, e non mettiamogli la mano addosso; perciocchè egli è nostro fratello, nostra carne. E i suoi fratelli gli acconsentirono.
28 E come que’ mercatanti Madianiti passavano, essi trassero e fecero salir Giuseppe fuor di quella fossa, e per venti sicli d’argento lo vendettero a quegl’Ismaeliti; ed essi lo menarono in Egitto.
