Yosef was brought down to Egypt. Potifar, an officer of Par`oh's, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the hand of the Yishme`elim that had brought him down there.
They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Yishme`elim was coming from Gil`ad, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Midyanim who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Yosef out of the pit, and sold Yosef to the Yishme`elim for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Yosef into Egypt.
