Parallel

Genesis 37:28

Rahlfs Septuagint (1935) · Berean Standard Bible

καὶ παρεπορεύοντο οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ Μαδιηναῖοι οἱ ἔμποροι καὶ ἐξείλκυσαν καὶ ἀνεβίβασαν τὸν Ιωσηφ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἀπέδοντο τὸν Ιωσηφ τοῖς Ισμαηλίταις εἴκοσι χρυσῶν καὶ κατήγαγον τὸν Ιωσηφ εἰς Αἴγυπτον
So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty shekels of silver (note: 20 shekels is approximately 8 ounces or 228 grams of silver.) to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
