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 lo agarraron y lo echaron en una cisterna que estaba vacĂ­a y seca.
25 Luego se sentaron a comer. En eso, al levantar la vista, divisaron una caravana de ismaelitas que venía de Galaad. Sus camellos estaban cargados de perfumes, bálsamo y mirra, que llevaban a Egipto.
26 Entonces Judá les propuso a sus hermanos:—¿Qué ganamos con matar a nuestro hermano y ocultar su muerte?
27 En vez de eliminarlo, vendámoslo a los ismaelitas; al fin de cuentas, es nuestro propio hermano.Sus hermanos estuvieron de acuerdo con él,
28 así que cuando los mercaderes madianitas se acercaron, sacaron a José de la cisterna y se lo vendieron a los ismaelitas por veinte monedas de plata. Fue así como se llevaron a José a Egipto.
