And his brethren were content. 28 Then as the Madianites marchaunt men passed by, they drewe and lyft Ioseph out of the pit, and solde him vnto the Ismaelites for twentie peeces of syluer. And they brought Ioseph into Egypt. 29 Then Ruben came agayne vnto the pit, and beholde, Ioseph was not in the pit: then he rent his clothes, 30 And went agayne vnto his brethren, saying: the lad is not yonder wo is me, whyther shall I go? 31 And they toke Iosephes coate, and kylled a kyd, and dipped the coate in the blood. 32 And they sent that partie coloured coate, and caused it to be brought vnto their father, and sayde: This haue we founde, see whether it be thy sonnes coate, or no. 33 And he knewe it, saying: It is my sonnes coate, a naughtie beast hath deuoured hym, Ioseph is without doubt rent in peeces. 34 And Iacob rent his clothes, & put sackcloth about his loynes, and mourned for his sonne a long season. 35 But all his sonnes & all his daughters rose vp to comfort hym: neuerthelesse he woulde not be comforted, but sayde, I wyll go downe into the graue vnto my sonne, mournyng: And thus his father wept for hym. 36 And the Madianites solde hym in Egypt vnto Putiphar, chiefe officer of Pharaos, and his chiefe stewarde.
