Genesis 37:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹ Later, when Reuben returned to the cistern, Joseph wasn’t there! In mounting panic, he tore his clothes, ³⁰ returned to his brothers, and shouted, “He’s^[a] not there! Now what? Where am I to go?”

³¹ So they took Joseph’s coat, slaughtered a young goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.
