UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יָּ֤שָׁב רְאוּבֵן֙ אֶל הַ⁠בּ֔וֹר

and,returned Reuven to/towards the,pit

Consider again how you translated cistern in verses 20, 22, 24, 28-29. Alternate translation: “Later Reuben who had been gone for a while returned to the well,” or “Then Reuben went back to the well to get Joseph,”

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֥ה אֵין יוֹסֵ֖ף בַּ⁠בּ֑וֹר

and=see/lo/see! not Yōşēf in/on/at/with,pit

Alternate translation: “but to his surprise Joseph was gone!”

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יִּקְרַ֖ע אֶת בְּגָדָֽי⁠ו

and,tore DOM clothes,his

Alternate translation: “So he tore his clothes to show grief.” or “Then he was so grieved that he tore his clothes.”
