Gênesis 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.

Gênesis 37:26 In-Context

24 agarraram-no e o jogaram no poço, que estava vazio e sem água.
25 Ao se assentarem para comer, viram ao longe uma caravana de ismaelitas que vinha de Gileade. Seus camelos estavam carregados de especiarias, bálsamo e mirra, que eles levavam para o Egito.
26 Judá disse então a seus irmãos: “Que ganharemos se matarmos o nosso irmão e escondermos o seu sangue?
27 Vamos vendê-lo aos ismaelitas. Não tocaremos nele, afinal é nosso irmão, é nosso próprio sangue”. E seus irmãos concordaram.
28 Quando os mercadores ismaelitas de Midiã se aproximaram, seus irmãos tiraram José do poço e o venderam por vinte peças de prata aos ismaelitas, que o levaram para o Egito.
