And it befelled that he told to his brethren a sweven that he saw, which cause was the seed of more hatred.

Forsooth Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, for he had begotten him in his eld age ; and he made to Joseph a coat of many colours.

Forsooth his brethren saw that he was loved of the father more than all they , and they hated him, and might not speak anything peaceably to him.

Also Joseph saw another sweven, which he told to his brethren, and said, I saw a dream that as the sun, and the moon, and the eleven stars worshipped me.

Therefore his brethren had envy to him. Forsooth the father beheld privily the thing

And Joseph said to his brethren, Hear ye the sweven which I saw, I guessed that we bound together sheaves, or handfuls , [in the field], and that as mine handful rose up, and stood upright , and that your handfuls stood about, and worshipped or honoured mine handful.

come ye, slay we him, and put we him into an eld [or old] cistern, and we shall say, A wild beast full wicked hath devoured him; and then it shall appear what his dreams profit to him.

and when [the] merchants of Midian passed thereforth, they drew Joseph out of the cistern, and sold him to Ishmaelites, for twenty pieces of silver; which led him into Egypt.

and they spake together, Lo! the dreamer cometh

And when they had seen him afar, before he nighed to them, they thought to slay him

neither shed we out his blood, but cast ye him into an eld [or old] cistern, which is in the wilderness, and keep ye your hands guiltless. Forsooth he said this, willing to deliver him from their hands, and to yield him to his father.
