Genesis, Chapter 37, verses 25-28, 36

²⁵ As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with spices, balm and myrrh, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.

²⁶ Judah said to his brothers, "What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?

²⁷ Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood." His brothers agreed.

²⁸ So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels² of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
...

³⁶ Meanwhile, the Midianites⁴ sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard.
