1And when I went into Egypt, to Joseph, and my brother recognized me, he said unto me: What did they tell my father when they sold me?

2And I said unto him, They dabbled thy coat with blood and sent it, and said: Know whether this be thy son's coat.

3And Joseph said unto me: Even so, brother, the Canaanite merchants stole me by force,

4And it came to pass that as they went on their way they concealed my garment, as though a wild beast had met me and slain me.

5And so his associates sold me to the Ishmaelites. And they did not lie in saying this.

6For he wished to conceal from me the deeds of my brethren. And he called to him his brethren and said:

7Do not tell my father what ye have done unto me, but tell him as I have told Benjamin.

8And let the thoughts among you be such, and let not these things come to the heart of my father.
