Jacob

Answer:Genesis 37:20-22 - "Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, 'Some wild beast has devoured him.' We shall see what will become of his dreams!"

But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him." And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him" - that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.

[NKJV]

Actually two brothers, Reuben and Judah, tried to protect Joseph. Genesis 37:19-26 indicates Reuben is the first when he suggests the brothers throw Joseph into a dry well instead of killing him. His intention was to later rescue Joseph and take him back to his father, Jacob. That plan bought some time, but the other brothers still planned to kill Joseph. When they see a caravan of Ishmaelites in the distance, Judah steps forward to ask what good would it do to kill Joseph; sell him to the Ishmaelites instead, who are headed toward Egypt. Ultimately, it was Judah's actions that spared Joseph's life, but Reuben had a role in it too.

Joseph put 10 of his brothers (all except Benjamin who was not present) for 3 days (Gen 42:17).

Joseph then sent 9 of brothers home to return with Benjamin and had Simeon tied up in front of them. He put Simeon back in prison and released him when the brothers returned (Gen 42:24, 43:23).
