When his brothren sawe that their father loued him more than all his brethern/ they hated him and coude not speke one kynde worde vnto him. Moreouer Ioseph dreamed a dreame and tolde it his brethren: wherfore they hated him yet the more. And he sayde vnto them heare I praye yow this dreame which I haue dreamed: Beholde we were makynge sheues in the felde: and loo/ my shefe arose and stode vp right/ and youres stode rounde aboute and made obeysaunce to my shefe. Than sayde his brethren vnto him: what/ shalt thou be oure kynge or shalt thou reigne ouer us? And they hated hĩ yet the more/ because of his dreame and of his wordes. And he dreamed yet another dreame & told it his brethren saynge: beholde/ I haue had one dreame more: me thought the sonne and the moone and .xi. starres made obaysaunce to me. And when he had told it vnto his father and his brethern/ his father rebuked him and sayde vnto him: what meaneth this dreame which thou hast dreamed: shall I and thy mother and thy brethren come and fall on the grounde before the? And his brethern hated him/ but his father noted the saynge. His brethren went to kepe their fathers shepe in Sichem/ and Israell sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethern kepe in Sichem? come that I may send y^e to thẽ. And he answered here am I And he sayde vnto him: goo and see whether it be well with thy brethren and the shepe/ and brynge me worde agayne: And sent him out of the vale of Hebron/ for to go to Sichem. And a certayne man found him wandrynge out of his waye in the felde/ ãd axed him what he soughte. And he answered: I seke my brethren/ tell me I praye the where they kepe shepe And the man sayde/ they are departed hẽce/ for I herde them say/ let vs goo vnto Dothan. Thus went Ioseph after his brethren/ and founde them in Dothan. And whẽ they sawe him a farr of before he came at them/ they toke councell agaynst him/ for to sley him/ and sayde one to another/ Beholde this dreamer cometh/ come now and let us sley him and cast him in to some pytt/ and let vs saye that some wiked beast hath deuoured him/ and let us see what his dreames wyll come to. When Ruben herde that/ he wẽt aboute to ryd him out of their handes and sayde/ let vs not kyll him. 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. And as soone as Ioseph was come vnto his brethren/ they strypte him out of his gay coote that was vpon him/ and they toke him and cast him in to a pytt: But the pytt was emptie and had no water therein. And they satt them doune to eate brede. And as they lyft vp their eyes and loked aboute/ there came a companye of Ismaelites from Gilead/ and their camels ladẽ with spicery/ baulme/ and myrre/ and were goynge doune in to Egipte.
