1  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ dwelt³⁴²⁷ in the land⁷⁷⁶ wherein his father¹ was a stranger,⁴⁰³³ in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Canaan.³⁶⁶⁷

2  These⁴²⁸ are the generations⁸⁴³⁵ of Jacob.³²⁹⁰ Joseph,³¹³⁰ being seventeen^{7651 6240} years⁸¹⁴¹ old,¹¹²¹ was¹⁹⁶¹ feeding⁷⁴⁶² the flock⁶⁶²⁹ with⁸⁵⁴ his brethren;²⁵¹ and the lad⁵²⁸⁸ was with⁸⁵⁴ the sons¹¹²¹ of Bilhah,¹⁰⁹⁰ and with⁸⁵⁴ the sons¹¹²¹ of Zilpah,²¹⁵³ his father's¹ wives:⁸⁰² and Joseph³¹³⁰ brought⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ his father¹ their ⁸⁵³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ report.¹⁶⁸¹

3  Now Israel³⁴⁷⁸ loved^{157 853} Joseph³¹³⁰ more than all^{4480 3605} his children,¹¹²¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ was the son¹¹²¹ of his old age:²²⁰⁸ and he made⁶²¹³ him a coat³⁸⁰¹ of many colors.⁶⁴⁴⁶

4  And when his brethren²⁵¹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ their father¹ loved¹⁵⁷ him more than all^{4480 3605} his brethren,²⁵¹ they hated⁸¹³⁰ him, and could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ speak¹⁶⁹⁶ peaceably⁷⁹⁶⁵ unto him.

5  And Joseph³¹³⁰ dreamed²⁴⁹² a dream,²⁴⁷² and he told⁵⁰⁴⁶ it his brethren:²⁵¹ and they hated⁸¹³⁰ him yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ the more.³²⁵⁴

6  And he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Hear,⁸⁰⁸⁵ I pray you,⁴⁹⁹⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ dream²⁴⁷² which⁸³⁴ I have dreamed:²⁴⁹²

7  For, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ we⁵⁸⁷ were binding⁴⁸¹ sheaves⁴⁸⁵ in⁸⁴³² the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ my sheaf⁴⁸⁵ arose,⁶⁹⁶⁵ and also¹⁵⁷¹ stood upright;⁵³²⁴ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ your sheaves⁴⁸⁵ stood round about,⁵⁴³⁷ and made obeisance⁷⁸¹² to my sheaf.⁴⁸⁵

8  And his brethren²⁵¹ said⁵⁵⁹ to him, Shalt thou indeed reign^{4427 4427} over⁵⁹²¹ us? or⁵¹⁸ shalt thou indeed have dominion^{4910 4910} over us? And they hated⁸¹³⁰ him yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ the more³²⁵⁴ for⁵⁹²¹ his dreams,²⁴⁷² and for⁵⁹²¹ his words.¹⁶⁹⁷

9  And he dreamed²⁴⁹² yet⁵⁷⁵⁰ another³¹² dream,²⁴⁷² and told⁵⁶⁰⁸ it his brethren,²⁵¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I have dreamed²⁴⁹² a dream²⁴⁷² more;⁵⁷⁵⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ the sun⁸¹²¹ and the moon³³⁹⁴ and the eleven^{259 6240} stars³⁵⁵⁶ made obeisance⁷⁸¹² to me.

10  And he told⁵⁶⁰⁸ it to⁴¹³ his father,¹ and to⁴¹³ his brethren:²⁵¹ and his father¹ rebuked¹⁶⁰⁵ him, and said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, What⁴¹⁰⁰ is this²⁰⁸⁸ dream²⁴⁷² that⁸³⁴ thou hast dreamed?²⁴⁹² Shall I⁵⁸⁹ and thy mother⁵¹⁷ and thy brethren²⁵¹ indeed come^{935 935} to bow down ourselves⁷⁸¹² to thee to the earth?⁷⁷⁶

11  And his brethren²⁵¹ envied⁷⁰⁶⁵ him; but his father¹ observed^{8104 853} the saying.¹⁶⁹⁷

12  And his brethren²⁵¹ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to feed^{7462 853} their father's¹ flock⁶⁶²⁹ in Shechem.⁷⁹²⁷

13  And Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joseph,³¹³⁰ Do not³⁸⁰⁸ thy brethren²⁵¹ feed⁷⁴⁶² the flock in Shechem?⁷⁹²⁷ come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and I will send⁷⁹⁷¹ thee unto⁴¹³ them. And he said⁵⁵⁹ to him, Here²⁰⁰⁹ am I.

14  And he said⁵⁵⁹ to him, Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ see⁷²⁰⁰ whether ⁸⁵³ it be well⁷⁹⁶⁵ with thy brethren,²⁵¹ and well⁷⁹⁶⁵ with the flocks;⁶⁶²⁹ and bring⁷⁷²⁵ me word¹⁶⁹⁷ again. So he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ him out of the vale^{4480 6010} of Hebron,²²⁷⁵ and he came⁹³⁵ to Shechem.⁷⁹²⁷

15  And a certain man³⁷⁶ found⁴⁶⁷² him, and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ he was wandering⁸⁵⁸² in the field:⁷⁷⁰⁴ and the man³⁷⁶ asked⁷⁵⁹² him, saying,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ seekest¹²⁴⁵ thou?

16  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I⁵⁹⁵ seek^{1245 853} my brethren:²⁵¹ tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me, I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ where³⁷⁵ they¹⁹⁹² feed⁷⁴⁶² their flocks.

17  And the man³⁷⁶ said,⁵⁵⁹ They are departed⁵²⁶⁵ hence;^{4480 2088} for³⁵⁸⁸ I heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ them say,⁵⁵⁹ Let us go¹⁹⁸⁰ to Dothan.¹⁸⁸⁶ And Joseph³¹³⁰ went¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ his brethren,²⁵¹ and found⁴⁶⁷² them in Dothan.¹⁸⁸⁶

18  And when they saw⁷²⁰⁰ him afar off,^{4480 7350} even before²⁹⁶² he came near⁷¹²⁶ unto⁴¹³ them, they conspired⁵²³⁰ against him to slay⁴¹⁹¹ him.

19  And they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ another,²⁵¹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ this¹⁹⁷⁶ dreamer^{1167 2472} cometh.⁹³⁵

20  Come¹⁹⁸⁰ now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, and let us slay²⁰²⁶ him, and cast⁷⁹⁹³ him into some²⁵⁹ pit,⁹⁵³ and we will say,⁵⁵⁹ Some evil⁷⁴⁵¹ beast²⁴¹⁶ hath devoured³⁹⁸ him: and we shall see⁷²⁰⁰ what⁴¹⁰⁰ will become¹⁹⁶¹ of his dreams.²⁴⁷²

21  And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, and he delivered⁵³³⁷ him out of their hands;^{4480 3027} and said,⁵⁵⁹ Let us not³⁸⁰⁸ kill⁵²²¹ him.

22  And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Shed⁸²¹⁰ no⁴⁰⁸ blood,¹⁸¹⁸ but cast⁷⁹⁹³ him into⁴¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ pit⁹⁵³ that⁸³⁴ is in the wilderness,⁴⁰⁵⁷ and lay⁷⁹⁷¹ no⁴⁰⁸ hand³⁰²⁷ upon him; that⁴⁶¹⁶ he might rid⁵³³⁷ him out of their hands,^{4480 3027} to deliver⁷⁷²⁵ him to⁴¹³ his father¹ again.

23  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when⁸³⁴ Joseph³¹³⁰ was come⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ his brethren,²⁵¹ that they stripped^{6584 853} Joseph³¹³⁰ out of ⁸⁵³ his coat,³⁸⁰¹ his ⁸⁵³ coat³⁸⁰¹ of many colors⁶⁴⁴⁶ that⁸³⁴ was on⁵⁹²¹ him;

24  And they took³⁹⁴⁷ him, and cast⁷⁹⁹³ him into a pit:⁹⁵³ and the pit⁹⁵³ was empty,⁷³⁸⁶ there was no³⁶⁹ water⁴³²⁵ in it.

25  And they sat down³⁴²⁷ to eat³⁹⁸ bread:³⁸⁹⁹ and they lifted up⁵³⁷⁵ their eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ and looked,⁷²⁰⁰ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ a company⁷³⁶ of Ishmaelites³⁴⁵⁹ came⁹³⁵ from Gilead^{4480 1568} with their camels¹⁵⁸¹ bearing⁵³⁷⁵ spicery⁵²¹⁹ and balm⁶⁸⁷⁵ and myrrh,³⁹¹⁰ going¹⁹⁸⁰ to carry it down³³⁸¹ to Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

26  And Judah³⁰⁶³ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his brethren,²⁵¹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ profit¹²¹⁵ is it if³⁵⁸⁸ we slay^{2026 853} our brother,²⁵¹ and conceal^{3680 853} his blood?¹⁸¹⁸

27  Come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let us sell⁴³⁷⁶ him to the Ishmaelites,³⁴⁵⁹ and let not⁴⁰⁸ our hand³⁰²⁷ be¹⁹⁶¹ upon him; for³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ is our brother²⁵¹ and our flesh.¹³²⁰ And his brethren²⁵¹ were content.⁸⁰⁸⁵

28  Then there passed by⁵⁶⁷⁴ Midianites^{376 4084} merchantmen;⁵⁵⁰³ and they drew⁴⁹⁰⁰ and lifted up^{5927 853} Joseph³¹³⁰ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the pit,⁹⁵³ and sold^{4376 853} Joseph³¹³⁰ to the Ishmaelites³⁴⁵⁹ for twenty⁶²⁴² pieces of silver:³⁷⁰¹ and they brought^{935 853} Joseph³¹³⁰ into Egypt.⁴⁷¹⁴

29  And Reuben⁷²⁰⁵ returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ the pit;⁹⁵³ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Joseph³¹³⁰ was not³⁶⁹ in the pit;⁹⁵³ and he rent^{7167 853} his clothes.⁸⁹⁹

30  And he returned⁷⁷²⁵ unto⁴¹³ his brethren,²⁵¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ The child³²⁰⁶ is not;³⁶⁹ and I,⁵⁸⁹ whither⁵⁷⁵ shall I⁵⁸⁹ go?⁹³⁵

31  And they took^{3947 853} Joseph's³¹³⁰ coat,³⁸⁰¹ and killed⁷⁸¹⁹ a kid⁸¹⁶³ of the goats,⁵⁷⁹⁵ and dipped^{2881 853} the coat³⁸⁰¹ in the blood;¹⁸¹⁸

32  And they sent^{7971 853} the coat³⁸⁰¹ of many colors,⁶⁴⁴⁶ and they brought⁹³⁵ it to⁴¹³ their father;¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁶³ have we found:⁴⁶⁷² know⁵²³⁴ now⁴⁹⁹⁴ whether it¹⁹³¹ be thy son's¹¹²¹ coat³⁸⁰¹ or⁵¹⁸ no.³⁸⁰⁸

33  And he knew⁵²³⁴ it, and said,⁵⁵⁹ It is my son's¹¹²¹ coat;³⁸⁰¹ an evil⁷⁴⁵¹ beast²⁴¹⁶ hath devoured³⁹⁸ him; Joseph³¹³⁰ is without doubt rent in pieces.^{2963 2963}

34  And Jacob³²⁹⁰ rent⁷¹⁶⁷ his clothes,⁸⁰⁷¹ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ sackcloth⁸²⁴² upon his loins,⁴⁹⁷⁵ and mourned⁵⁶ for⁵⁹²¹ his son¹¹²¹ many⁷²²⁷ days.³¹¹⁷

35  And all³⁶⁰⁵ his sons¹¹²¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his daughters¹³²³ rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ to comfort⁵¹⁶² him; but he refused³⁹⁸⁵ to be comforted;⁵¹⁶² and he said,⁵⁵⁹ For³⁵⁸⁸ I will go down³³⁸¹ into the grave⁷⁵⁸⁵ unto⁴¹³ my son¹¹²¹ mourning.⁵⁷ Thus his father¹ wept¹⁰⁵⁸ for him.

36  And the Midianites⁴⁰⁹² sold⁴³⁷⁶ him into⁴¹³ Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ unto Potiphar,⁶³¹⁸ an officer⁵⁶³¹ of Pharaoh's,⁶⁵⁴⁷ and captain⁸²⁶⁹ of the guard.²⁸⁷⁶

1 κατῴκει δὲ Ιακωβ ἐν τῇ γῇ οὗ παρῴκησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ ἐν γῇ Χανααν

2 αὗται δὲ αἱ γενέσεις Ιακωβ Ιωσηφ δέκα ἑπτὰ ἐτῶν ἦν ποιμαίνων μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ πρόβατα ὢν νέος μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Βαλλας καὶ μετὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ζελφας τῶν γυναικῶν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ κατήνεγκεν δὲ Ιωσηφ ψόγον πονηρὸν πρὸς Ισραηλ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν

3 Ιακωβ δὲ ἠγάπα τὸν Ιωσηφ παρὰ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ὅτι υἱὸς γήρους ἦν αὐτῷ ἐποίησεν δὲ αὐτῷ χιτῶνα ποικίλον

4 ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ φιλεῖ ἐκ πάντων τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ ἐμίσησαν αὐτὸν καὶ οὐκ ἐδύναντο λαλεῖν αὐτῷ οὐδὲν εἰρηνικόν

5 ἐνυπνιασθεὶς δὲ Ιωσηφ ἐνύπνιον ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτὸ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ

6 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἀκούσατε τοῦ ἐνυπνίου τούτου οὗ ἐνυπνιάσθην

7 ᾤμην ἡμᾶς δεσμεύειν δράγματα ἐν μέσῳ τῷ πεδίῳ καὶ ἀνέστη τὸ ἐμὸν δράγμα καὶ ὠρθώθη περιστραφέντα δὲ τὰ δράγματα ὑμῶν προσεκύνησαν τὸ ἐμὸν δράγμα

8 εἶπαν δὲ αὐτῷ οἱ ἀδελφοί μὴ βασιλεύων βασιλεύσεις ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς ἢ κυριεύων κυριεύσεις ἡμῶν καὶ προσέθεντο ἔτι μισεῖν αὐτὸν ἕνεκεν τῶν ἐνυπνίων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕνεκεν τῶν ῥημάτων αὐτοῦ

9 εἶδεν δὲ ἐνύπνιον ἕτερον καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτὸ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἐνυπνιασάμην ἐνύπνιον ἕτερον ὥσπερ ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ἡ σελήνη καὶ ἕνδεκα ἀστέρες προσεκύνουν με

10 καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ τί τὸ ἐνύπνιον τοῦτο ὃ ἐνυπνιάσθης ἆρά γε ἐλθόντες ἐλευσόμεθα ἐγώ τε καὶ ἡ μήτηρ σου καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου προσκυνῆσαί σοι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν

11 ἐζήλωσαν δὲ αὐτὸν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ δὲ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ διετήρησεν τὸ ῥῆμα

12 ἐπορεύθησαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ βόσκειν τὰ πρόβατα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτῶν εἰς Συχεμ

13 καὶ εἶπεν Ισραηλ πρὸς Ιωσηφ οὐχ οἱ ἀδελφοί σου ποιμαίνουσιν ἐν Συχεμ δεῦρο ἀποστείλω σε πρὸς αὐτούς εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ἰδοὺ ἐγώ

14 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Ισραηλ πορευθεὶς ἰδὲ εἰ ὑγιαίνουσιν οἱ ἀδελφοί σου καὶ τὰ πρόβατα καὶ ἀνάγγειλόν μοι καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν ἐκ τῆς κοιλάδος τῆς Χεβρων καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς Συχεμ

15 καὶ εὗρεν αὐτὸν ἄνθρωπος πλανώμενον ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ ἠρώτησεν δὲ αὐτὸν ὁ ἄνθρωπος λέγων τί ζητεῖς

16 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου ζητῶ ἀνάγγειλόν μοι ποῦ βόσκουσιν

17 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἀπήρκασιν ἐντεῦθεν ἤκουσα γὰρ αὐτῶν λεγόντων πορευθῶμεν εἰς Δωθαϊμ καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ιωσηφ κατόπισθεν τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ εὗρεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Δωθαϊμ

18 προεῖδον δὲ αὐτὸν μακρόθεν πρὸ τοῦ ἐγγίσαι αὐτὸν πρὸς αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπονηρεύοντο τοῦ ἀποκτεῖναι αὐτόν

19 εἶπαν δὲ ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ ὁ ἐνυπνιαστὴς ἐκεῖνος ἔρχεται

20 νῦν οὖν δεῦτε ἀποκτείνωμεν αὐτὸν καὶ ῥίψωμεν αὐτὸν εἰς ἕνα τῶν λάκκων καὶ ἐροῦμεν θηρίον πονηρὸν κατέφαγεν αὐτόν καὶ ὀψόμεθα τί ἔσται τὰ ἐνύπνια αὐτοῦ

21 ἀκούσας δὲ Ρουβην ἐξείλατο αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπεν οὐ πατάξομεν αὐτὸν εἰς ψυχήν

22 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτοῖς Ρουβην μὴ ἐκχέητε αἷμα ἐμβάλετε αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν λάκκον τοῦτον τὸν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ χεῖρα δὲ μὴ ἐπενέγκητε αὐτῷ ὅπως ἐξέληται αὐτὸν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ ἀποδῷ αὐτὸν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ

23 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἦλθεν Ιωσηφ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐξέδυσαν τὸν Ιωσηφ τὸν χιτῶνα τὸν ποικίλον τὸν περὶ αὐτὸν

24 καὶ λαβόντες αὐτὸν ἔρριψαν εἰς τὸν λάκκον ὁ δὲ λάκκος κενός ὕδωρ οὐκ εἶχεν

25 ἐκάθισαν δὲ φαγεῖν ἄρτον καὶ ἀναβλέψαντες τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδον καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁδοιπόροι Ισμαηλῖται ἤρχοντο ἐκ Γαλααδ καὶ αἱ κάμηλοι αὐτῶν ἔγεμον θυμιαμάτων καὶ ῥητίνης καὶ στακτῆς ἐπορεύοντο δὲ καταγαγεῖν εἰς Αἴγυπτον

26 εἶπεν δὲ Ιουδας πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ τί χρήσιμον ἐὰν ἀποκτείνωμεν τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν καὶ κρύψωμεν τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ

27 δεῦτε ἀποδώμεθα αὐτὸν τοῖς Ισμαηλίταις τούτοις αἱ δὲ χεῖρες ἡμῶν μὴ ἔστωσαν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν ὅτι ἀδελφὸς ἡμῶν καὶ σὰρξ ἡμῶν ἐστιν ἤκουσαν δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ

28 καὶ παρεπορεύοντο οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ Μαδιηναῖοι οἱ ἔμποροι καὶ ἐξείλκυσαν καὶ ἀνεβίβασαν τὸν Ιωσηφ ἐκ τοῦ λάκκου καὶ ἀπέδοντο τὸν Ιωσηφ τοῖς Ισμαηλίταις εἴκοσι χρυσῶν καὶ κατήγαγον τὸν Ιωσηφ εἰς Αἴγυπτον

29 ἀνέστρεψεν δὲ Ρουβην ἐπὶ τὸν λάκκον καὶ οὐχ ὁρᾷ τὸν Ιωσηφ ἐν τῷ λάκκῳ καὶ διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ

30 καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν τὸ παιδάριον οὐκ ἔστιν ἐγὼ δὲ ποῦ πορεύομαι ἔτι

31 λαβόντες δὲ τὸν χιτῶνα τοῦ Ιωσηφ ἔσφαξαν ἔριφον αἰγῶν καὶ ἐμόλυναν τὸν χιτῶνα τῷ αἵματι

32 καὶ ἀπέστειλαν τὸν χιτῶνα τὸν ποικίλον καὶ εἰσήνεγκαν τῷ πατρὶ αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπαν τοῦτον εὕρομεν ἐπίγνωθι εἰ χιτὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ σού ἐστιν ἢ οὔ

33 καὶ ἐπέγνω αὐτὸν καὶ εἶπεν χιτὼν τοῦ υἱοῦ μού ἐστιν θηρίον πονηρὸν κατέφαγεν αὐτόν θηρίον ἥρπασεν τὸν Ιωσηφ

34 διέρρηξεν δὲ Ιακωβ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέθετο σάκκον ἐπὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπένθει τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ ἡμέρας πολλάς

35 συνήχθησαν δὲ πάντες οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες καὶ ἦλθον παρακαλέσαι αὐτόν καὶ οὐκ ἤθελεν παρακαλεῖσθαι λέγων ὅτι καταβήσομαι πρὸς τὸν υἱόν μου πενθῶν εἰς ᾅδου καὶ ἔκλαυσεν αὐτὸν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ

36 οἱ δὲ Μαδιηναῖοι ἀπέδοντο τὸν Ιωσηφ εἰς Αἴγυπτον τῷ Πετεφρη τῷ σπάδοντι Φαραω ἀρχιμαγείρῳ

1 Habitavit autem Jacob in terra Chanaan, in qua pater suus peregrinatus est.

2 Et hæ sunt generationes ejus: Joseph cum sedecim esset annorum, pascebat gregem cum fratribus suis adhuc puer: et erat cum filiis Balæ et Zelphæ uxorum patris sui: accusavitque fratres suos apud patrem crimine pessimo.

3 Israël autem diligebat Joseph super omnes filios suos, eo quod in senectute genuisset eum: fecitque ei tunicam polymitam.

4 Videntes autem fratres ejus quod a patre plus cunctis filiis amaretur, oderant eum, nec poterant ei quidquam pacifice loqui.

5 Accidit quoque ut visum somnium referret fratribus suis: quæ causa majoris odii seminarium fuit.

6 Dixitque ad eos: Audite somnium meum quod vidi:

7 putabam nos ligare manipulos in agro: et quasi consurgere manipulum meum, et stare, vestrosque manipulos circumstantes adorare manipulum meum.

8 Responderunt fratres ejus: Numquid rex noster eris? aut subjiciemur ditioni tuæ? Hæc ergo causa somniorum atque sermonum, invidiæ et odii fomitem ministravit.

9 Aliud quoque vidit somnium, quod narrans fratribus, ait: Vidi per somnium, quasi solem, et lunam, et stellas undecim adorare me.

10 Quod cum patri suo, et fratribus retulisset, increpavit eum pater suus, et dixit: Quid sibi vult hoc somnium quod vidisti? num ego et mater tua, et fratres tui adorabimus te super terram?

11 Invidebant ei igitur fratres sui: pater vero rem tacitus considerabat.

12 Cumque fratres illius in pascendis gregibus patris morarentur in Sichem,

13 dixit ad eum Israël: Fratres tui pascunt oves in Sichimis: veni, mittam te ad eos. Quo respondente,

14 Præsto sum, ait ei: Vade, et vide si cuncta prospera sint erga fratres tuos, et pecora: et renuntia mihi quid agatur. Missus de valle Hebron, venit in Sichem:

15 invenitque eum vir errantem in agro, et interrogavit quid quæreret.

16 At ille respondit: Fratres meos quæro: indica mihi ubi pascant greges.

17 Dixitque ei vir: Recesserunt de loco isto: audivi autem eos dicentes: Eamus in Dothain. Perrexit ergo Joseph post fratres suos, et invenit eos in Dothain.

18 Qui cum vidissent eum procul, antequam accederet ad eos, cogitaverunt illum occidere:

19 et mutuo loquebantur: Ecce somniator venit:

20 venite, occidamus eum, et mittamus in cisternam veterem: dicemusque: Fera pessima devoravit eum: et tunc apparebit quid illi prosint somnia sua.

21 Audiens autem hoc Ruben, nitebatur liberare eum de manibus eorum, et dicebat:

22 Non interficiatis animam ejus, nec effundatis sanguinem: sed projicite eum in cisternam hanc, quæ est in solitudine, manusque vestras servate innoxias: hoc autem dicebat, volens eripere eum de manibus eorum, et reddere patri suo.

23 Confestim igitur ut pervenit ad fratres suos, nudaverunt eum tunica talari et polymita:

24 miseruntque eum in cisternam veterem, quæ non habebat aquam.

25 Et sedentes ut comederent panem, viderunt Ismaëlitas viatores venire de Galaad, et camelos eorum portantes aromata, et resinam, et stacten in Ægyptum.

26 Dixit ergo Judas fratribus suis: Quid nobis prodest si occiderimus fratrem nostrum, et celaverimus sanguinem ipsius?

27 melius est ut venundetur Ismaëlitis, et manus nostræ non polluantur: frater enim et caro nostra est. Acquieverunt fratres sermonibus illius.

28 Et prætereuntibus Madianitis negotiatoribus, extrahentes eum de cisterna, vendiderunt eum Ismaëlitis, viginti argenteis: qui duxerunt eum in Ægyptum.

29 Reversusque Ruben ad cisternam, non invenit puerum:

30 et scissis vestibus pergens ad fratres suos, ait: Puer non comparet, et ego quo ibo?

31 Tulerunt autem tunicam ejus, et in sanguine hædi, quem occiderant, tinxerunt:

32 mittentes qui ferrent ad patrem, et dicerent: Hanc invenimus: vide utrum tunica filii tui sit, an non.

33 Quam cum agnovisset pater, ait: Tunica filii mei est: fera pessima comedit eum, bestia devoravit Joseph.

34 Scissisque vestibus, indutus est cilicio, lugens filium suum multo tempore.

35 Congregatis autem cunctis liberis ejus ut lenirent dolorem patris, noluit consolationem accipere, sed ait: Descendam ad filium meum lugens in infernum. Et illo perseverante in fletu,

36 Madianitæ vendiderunt Joseph in Ægypto Putiphari eunucho Pharaonis, magistro militum.
