And they sat
down to
eat bread: and they lifted
up their
eyes and
looked, and, behold, a
company of
Ishmeelites came from
Gilead with their
camels bearing spicery and

down to
Egypt.

Then there
passed by
Midianites merchantmen*; and they
drew and lifted
up Joseph out of the

sold Joseph to the

Egypt.
