[The Pentateuch]

And as soon as Joseph was come unto his brethren / they stripped him out of his gay coot that was upon him / and they toke him and cast him in to a pit: But the pit was empty and had no water therein. And they s•tt them down to eat breed. And as they lift up their eyes and looked about / there came a company of Ishmaelites from Gilead / and their camels laden with spicery / balm / and my•re / and were going down in to Egypt.

And as soone as Ioseph was come vnto his brethren / they strypte him out of his gay coote that was vpon him / and they toke him and cast him in to a pytt: But the pytt was emptie and had no water therein. And they s•tt them doune to eate brede. And as they lyft vp their eyes and loked aboute / there came a companye of Ismaelites from Gilead / and their camels ladē with spicery / baulme / and my•re / and were goynge doune in to Egipte.

Than said Judah to his brethren / what availeth it that we slay our brother / and keep his blood secret? come on / let us sell him to the Ishmaelites / and let not our hands be defiled upon him: for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. Than as the Midianites merchant men passed by / they drew Joseph out of the pit and sold him unto the Ishmaelites for .xx. pieces of silver. ⟨image 64⟩And they brought him into Egypt.

Than sayde Iuda to his brethrē / what avayleth it that we sley oure brother / and kepe his bloude secrett? come on / let us sell him to the Ismaelites / and let not oure handes be defyled vpon him: for he is oure brother and oure flesh. And his brethren were content. Than as the Mad•anites marchaunt men passed by / they drewe Ioseph out of the pytt and sold him vnto the Ismaelites for .xx. peces of syluer. ⟨image 64⟩
