Tyndale(i) 18 And whe they sawe him a farr of before he came at them they toke councell agaynst him for to sley him 19 and sayde one to another Beholde this dreamer cometh 20 come now and let us sley him and cast him in to some pytt and let vs saye that sonne wiked beast hath deuoured him and let us see what his dreames wyll come to. 21 When Ruben herde that he wet aboute to ryd him out of their handes and sayde let vs not kyll him. 22 And Ruben sayde moreouer vnto them shed not his bloude but cast him in to this pytt that is in the wildernes and laye no handes vpon him: for he wolde haue rydd him out of their handes and delyuered him to his father agayne. 23 And as soone as Ioseph was come vnto his brethren they strypte him out of his gay coote that was vpon him 24 and they toke him and cast him in to a pytt: But the pytt was emptie and had no water therein.
