Coverdale⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Whan Ioseph now came to his brethre, they stryped him out of his cote, that partye coloured cote which he had vpon him, ²⁴ & toke him and cast him in to a pytt. But the same pytt was emptye, and no water in it, ²⁵ & they sat them downe to eate. In the meane season they lift vp their eyes, and sawe a copany of Ismaelites comynge from Gilead, with their camels, which bare spyces, balme, and myrre, and were goinge downe into Egipte. ²⁶ Then saide Iuda vnto his brethre: what helpeth it vs, that we sleye oure brother, and hyde his bloude? ²⁷ Come, let vs sell him vnto the Ismaelites, that oure handes be not defyled vpon him, for he is oure brother, oure flesh and bloude. And they herkened vnto him. ²⁸ And as the Madianites marchaunt men wente by, they drew Ioseph out of the pytt, and solde him vnto the Ismaelites (for twetye syluer pens) which brought him in to Egipte.
