11 1Do ye also, my children, have the fear of God in all your works before your eyes, and honour your brethren. For every one who doeth the law of the Lord shall be loved by Him. 2And when I came to the Indocolpitae with the Ishmaelites, they asked me, saying: Art thou a slave? And I said that I was a home-born slave, that I might not put my brethren to shame. 3And the eldest of them said unto me: Thou art not a slave, for even thy appearance doth make it manifest. But I said that I was their slave. 4Now when we came into Egypt they strove concerning me, which of them should buy me and take me. 5Therefore it seemed good to all that I should remain in Egypt with the merchant of their trade, until they should return bringing merchandise. 6And the Lord gave me favour in the eyes of the merchant, and he entrusted unto me his house. 7And God blessed him by my means, and increased him in gold and silver and in household servants. 8And I was with him three months and five days.
