Than sayde Iuda to his brethrẽ/ what avayleth it that we sley oure brother/ and kepe his bloude secrett? come on/ let us sell him to the Ismaelites/ and let not oure handes be defyled vpon him: for he is oure brother and oure flesh. And his brethren were content. Than as the Madianites marchaunt men passed by/ they drewe Ioseph out of the pytt and sold him vnto the Ismaelites for .xx. peces of syluer. And they brought him into Egipte. And when Ruben came agayne vnto the pytt and founde not Ioseph there/ he rent his cloothes and went agayne vnto his brethern saynge: the lad is not yonder/ and whether shall I goo? And they toke Iosephs coote ãd kylled a goote/ & dypped the coote in the bloud. And they sent that gay coote ãd caused it to be brought vnto their father and sayd: This haue we founde: se/ whether it be thy sõnes coote or no. And he knewe it saynge: it is my sonnes coote a wicked beast hath deuoured him/ and Ioseph is rent in peces. And Iacob rent his cloothes/ ãd put sacke clothe aboute his loynes/ and sorowed for his sonne a longe season. Than came all his sonnes ãd all his doughters to comforte him. And he wold not be comforted/ but sayde: I will go doune in to y^e grave vnto my sonne/ mornynge. And thus his father wepte for him. And the Madianytes solde him in Egipte vnto Putiphar a lorde of Pharaos: and his chefe marshall. ¶ The .xxxviij. Chapter. And it fortuned at that tyme that Iudas went from his brethren & gatt him to a man called Hira of Odollam/ and there he sawe the doughter of a man called Sua a Canaanyte. And he toke her ãd went in vnto her. And she conceaued and bare a sonne and called his name Er. And she conceaued agayne and bare a sonne and called him Onan. And she conceaued the thyrde tyme & bare a sonne/ whom she called Sela: & he was at Chesyb when she bare hem. And Iudas gaue Er his eldest sonne/ a wife whose name was Thamar. But this Er Iudas eldest sonne was wicked in the syghte of the LORde/ wherfore the LORde slewe him. Than sayde Iudas vnto Onan: goo in to thi brothers wyfe and Marie her/ and styrre vp seed vnto thy brother. And when Onan perceaued that the seed shulde not be his: therfore when he went in to his brothers wife/ he spylled it on the grounde/ because he wold not geue seed vnto his brother. And the thinge which he dyd/ displeased the LORde/ wherfore he slew him also. Than sayde Iudas to Thamar his doughter in lawe: remayne a wydow at thi fathers house/ tyll Sela my sonne be growne: for he feared lest he shulde haue dyed also/ as his brethren did. Thus went Thamar & dwelt in hir fathers house.
