BA: No, SZ: When he went, when he came out of... His brothers put him... BA: In the pit, SZ: In this, in the pit. They say 'We shall not ki-,' one says we shall kill him [and] one [=the other] says we shall not kill him, [eventually] they did not kill him. [He] was put into the well, but that coat of him had torn [lit. was made one tear]. They soaked it in blood, [and] took it to his father. But his father knew he was not killed. He did not... make a [period of] mourning for him. That coat, one snippet/piece [of it] remained with him. So when the merchants of Egypt came, they [they brothers] say: 'we have one boy, young man, for sale,' They [the merchants] say [=answer]: 'we will buy him'. [When] they have bought him, he says: 'For God's sake take me to Rachel my mother, [in order that] I shall visit her, her tomb. It is [on] your way, Beth-Lehem. From Jerusalem, from the field, they took him to Beth-Lehem. So when he went to Beth-Lehem, - they all have been merchants full [of], full [of] money, they carry property[/wealth] and goods they sell [it] in Egypt. He went [and] entered he says, he cried out a voice to his mother, in Kurdish [=Aramaic], He says: [singing] 'Oh Mother! Rise and look at me [=see the poor condition I am in], oh Mother! Rise and look at me! Here, on my leg there are chains, [???] on my hands, ropes are placed on my legs, I have been sold to my owners, I have been sold to my owners.' A voice came from his mother, all of the men shivered, the grave of his mother shook, all of the people trembled. A voice came from his mother, he [the voice] cried out: 'Oh my son Yosef, do not fear, oh my son Yosef, do not fear, three times, oh my son Yosef, do not fear, trust in your God, Wherever you go, you shall win [or: In the place that you go to, you will win], you shall become the king of Egypt, you shall become the king of Egypt. BA: That is so beautiful, SZ: She had said those [things], [and] those merchants, then [or: immediately] untied his legs, released him [of his chains], saying as long as he has this mother, why [???] why did we tie him so [harshly]? They untied him, he visited his mother, they sat down [and] sat him down [and] went away. They brought his to Egypt, 'We have a boy for Egypt!', Potipar came [and] bought him. Potipar does not have children, he has taken Osnat [=Asenath] the daughter of Dinah, BA: Yes, SZ: from the field when Yaakov our Father begot her. They have tied her in a hammock, they named her [lit. put her name], eh this, Osnat. Under/after Osnat [???]. Potipar was wandering around, hunting [lit. was turning around], [at]. He heard xwa qwa qwa a voice crying, he says 'Oh! [May I be] Your sacrifice, God, you have given me a daughter'. He put for her... a Turkish delight was in her mouth and he took her away. He brought her up, Yosef also came [to Egypt] fourteen year old, also he. Both of them at the same night... became pregnant. Rachel, this, Leah brought [some] sa_ad_ke [=a Kurdish vegetable which represent here the mandrakes] to her sister, BA: Yes, SZ: She [Leah] took the sa_ad_ke, [and] said to her 'Swallow those two, also I, but, for the past fifteen days Yaakov has been with me, now he is [=he should be] your guest, but tonight give him to me until ten o'clock'. She said to Yaakov 'Go tonight again to my sister Leah.' He Says 'Why? I should be with you', she says 'No, Go.' He went away, so she made a Din Ve-H_e_bon, she went outside, after he had gone to he house, She says: 'Oh Ruler of the universe, oh Ruler of the universe, I have six sons, if you give me a [an other] son, give this son to my sister Rachel, [and] give the daughter to me. I need one daughter. So he came - the Ruler of the universe sent an angel, he [the angel] said 'He [God] had accepted your plea [lit. the plea, He accepted it from you], 'You have made Din Ve-H_e_bon with the Creator of the universe, you have a daughter in your womb, name her [lit. put (her name on) her] Dinah, you have done Din Ve-H_e_bon with the Holy One blessed be He, her name is Dinah. BA: Yes, SZ: and a son will also come to Rachel, his name is [=should be] Yosef.' BA: Yes, SZ: Here, this is their story, BA: Good, SZ: By brother is the one who told it to me. BA: Yes, I have never heard it [before], SZ: So the two of them, she gave birth to a daughter, Leah, Rachel gave birth to a son, So, um... They came to Shchem, they had already left [lit. went out from] Laban. Yaakov our father had sat [=dwelled] [there], enough, he wants to come to his Jerusalem. He came, - he came to Shchem, he had a house in Shchem. They kidnapped her, Dinah, Hamor son of Shchem kidnaped her, son of Shchem. BA: Yes she was very beautiful, SZ: Yes, They kidnaped her, they searched after her for three days, [but] she was not found [lit. s not seen]. His father came, the father of Hamor, Shchem, he says,... We all shall be together [lit. with in one another], your daughter is with us, and we will give [you] whatever you want, we shall do this. Her brothers say 'Absolutely no! we are twelve Jewish brothers, they are Muslims, we will give the girl to Muslims?!' He says 'We have one condition to you: we will circumcise all of you, from small [=young] to big [=old]. [If] you except [that condition] we will give our daughter.' Go ahead, Shimon and Levi, fall upon [=attack],... Shchem. Even also a month old child they have cut. All of them died, all of their sons died, the daughter remained [alive]. [When] they rose, there was [lit. is] not a single man [left] in Shchem. They brought back their daughter. That man [or: her husband; Hamor], they have also killed. I know it [=the story] all. So she came... she became pregnant, God gave her a daughter, so they say 'How...?' [=This is inappropriate, what shall we do?] She was put inside [a room] for nine months, They did not let even one human being know she was pregnant, until, that day which she should have given birth/gave birth, labor pangs started [lit. came to her], she was taken to the field, [???, perhaps a verb from the noun xesa, = lying-in woman] Her mother stood [=acted as] [and] Her father made for her a hammock [cradle], he make for her an amulet, he put it on her right shoulder, the amulet, and... he put [wrote there] a [sacred] name [or: her name], [in order that] no bird, will be able come near to that place, nor touch her or... cause her harm, and not... No one was able to come near her, [since] the name of Yaakov our father was with her. That was that... [or: She was born...] She went away, he [Potipar] took her, he brought her up, Yosef also came, so he had [so it came about that he had; lit. it became to him] a daughter and a son, Potipar, BA: Yes, SZ: So then his wife fell in love with [also: desired] Yosef, she does... no, he cannot overcome her [lit. he cannot over her], he always tells her no and no and no and no and... She grabbed him [and] pulled him from his back. She tore all of his clothes from his behind, [he did] not... He says 'Forever, you are my mother.' He did not looked at her. She had torn his clothes. [But] she started shouting 'Potipar, come and see! You have brought this [person], he came... He wants to sleep with her, that which is here. He says 'Alright, to the court.' They went to court. They say 'Bring him [in], make him stand here. If it is from here [=from the front], his clothes are torn, [then] it is he who went and asked [to sleep with] her. If they are torn from behind, it is she, not... [him]. He did not initiate any conflict with her [lit. He does not have any apprehension of her. =He was not to be blamed]. They saw they were [torn] from behind, the clothes, all of them torn over here. They say, 'Nevertheless, we will give him [a punishment of] two years, prison, BA: For [the sake of] her honour. SZ: Yes, for [the sake of] the honour of Potipar. They gave him, [the punishment of] two year. [But] after that, in one instance, he have erred, [it was] him [who erred], [so] he stayed [in prison] another ten years. He erred with um... um... Whoever have dreamt [lit. was seeing] a dream used to come to him, - well he was a "man of dreams" wi, - so one [person] came... he had seen in his dream, [this person] was imprisoned with him - He did no eat! Yosef the Righteous did not eat food, he drank [only] water and bread. Bread there, and water he used to eat, ten years he stayed in prison. Bread and water he ate, he did not [even] taste the food of... the Egyptians. They would bring him three plates/dishes [lit. three plates used to come], [but] he used to give it to this [person] and to this and to this... He says [to them] 'I am satiated from [=thanks to] God. So um, that... This one this, one, he was his baker, one [=the other] was a winemaker/dealer. That baker saw in his dream, he [=Yosef] tell him 'Tomorrow, at three o'clock they will hang you. That which is not here . You [will already] be dead. That winemaker/dealer, he tell him 'You will come back, you will stay,... under the hand of the king, and... be well'. But, he erred in one thing, he told him [or: he erred by saying one word to him], he says 'Remember me [at] that time'. He should not have said it! BA: God will remember. SZ: [He should have said:] Oh Master of the universe, put in his heart that he may remember me. He erred. [May I be the] sacrifice of God, [He] caught on him [=did not approve, became angry for that], He says 'You will stay [there] another ten years'. [So] it is [lit. those are] twelve years. [=this is how he stayed there twelve years] After that, only then [or: at last] at that time, the king saw in his dream, seven cows eating seven... this... fat cows eating, thin cow, and seven stalks eating. He saw [the dream], he went [and] say [lit. he says] 'I want one to come [and] solve my dream, what, what did I see in my dream? I do not know what did I see'. So then that winemaker/dealer remembered. He says 'No one can solve it but that which is in the prison, his name is [lit. they call him] Yosef'. They went [and] he brought him. When they have brought him [from prison], [and] brought him in to the king, what did he say to the king? Have you read [it]? Do you know what did he say to the king? OA: Um... When they have asked him what was the solution? SZ: Yes, no. BA: No. SZ: When he has entered to him [=to the king's hall] what did he say? BA: All solutions belong to God. SZ: No, he said 'Peace be upon you!' BA: Oh, SZ: The king rose and sat in his chair, He says to him 'I speak [lit. know] seventy languages, this one I do not know. What is it?' He says to him 'That is Hebrew. BA: Oh, SZ: This "Peace be upon you" is in Hebrew.' 'Who are you?' He says 'I am a Hebrew.' BA: Mm... SZ: He said to him 'My seal ring is on your hand [=Here, I give you my ring] , you shall become a king, in Egypt, every thing shall be under your hand [=you shall rule Egypt]. What is [the solution of] my dream?' He says 'This is how it has been, this is how it has been,' He says 'Aha! you shall become the king of Egypt.' He became a king, now, a king should be put in a chariot with a horse, they should drive him around the streets of Egypt, saying [=announcing] 'Hey, come see this [man]'. They took him bath house, he bathed and dressed in royal clothes and he put [on] a royal crown, they put him in a chariot and drive him around, all of the daughters of the noblemen, what have you, wrote letters and threw them to him into,... his chariot. This one [=girl] says 'I want you', that one says 'I want you', that one says 'I want you'. But that certain Osnat, what does she have? She has nothing, she has this amulet of her father. She wrapped it... [or: rolled it up...] BA: A bazband is a bracelet? SZ: Bazband they call it, This this, like a... it is made - not a bracelet, un, writ... this of him, his name, BA: Written? Ah! SZ: Write... and wrapped in this, and made [into]... BA: and they put it here, yes, SZ: [They (impersonal)] put threads onto it and tie it with [a piece of] cloth. BA: Yes. SZ: Its name is bazband. He [Yosef] reads it and... 'It is a amulet of my father, and this is the name of father and this is the daughter of my sister, now, who shall I go and marry? She who threw [the amulet to me], that is the one.' BA: Of course, of course, SZ: He says 'I want Asenath, the daughter of Potipar'. So they married [lit. blessed] her to him, she brought him [=gave birth to] Menashe and Ephraim, BA: That is beautiful, SZ: So afterwards they came, it came about,... He tells him 'Well what, what shall we do, now that you became the king? [lit. what shall we do in order you become a king?] He [Yosef] answer 'These [coming] seven years will be [lit. are] good, After these seven years a famine [lit. high cost of living, dearth] will come, people will not be able to find bread [lit. bread will not be find in/cought to people]'. So, he made [some] pits, filled them, blessed, All of them grew out wheat at that very moment they were sown. But what others made, rotted. BA: Yes, It has become full of worms [lit. worms became]. SZ: Yes. At that very same time, his brothers came [to their father]. Yaakov our father sat down, they say to him 'Father, smell in which there is, in which city there is the smell of wheat'. He smelled [and] smelled, he says 'The smell comes from Egypt, go to Egypt.' I know all of it, all of the words, accurately, it is not in vain. BA: That is beautiful, yes. SZ: 'All of you, go to Egypt, but my son, - [Each] one [of you] protect the other [and] God shall protect you, - [but] I will not give my son Benjamin. [Here] he is, on my knee. Until I die, Binyamin is mine. Yosef went away, will I now also be without Benyamin?' So he send them away, at the same time Yosef saw, with this [thing] of his [=his goblet], he watches [and sees], ten riders have arrived. They divided themselves, every two, five [of them], entered trough a [different] trail. He sent [men] towards them, saying 'Bring them here.' They came, he says 'What are you looking for? Are you spies?' They say 'No, we are not spies, we came [in order] to take... wheat [from] here. We do not have [any], our father has sent us.' So that's it. You know their story. One time he made for them a meal, [and] in that very first time, when they have just entered, he says 'Two,... six sons of Leah, shall sit here'. He prepared for them a table. BA: yes, SZ: 'Two [sons] of Bilhah, over there. Two of um... BA: Zilpah? SZ: Zilpah, over there'. He set [lit. made] tables for them. Them, they look at each other [lit. those, one looks at the other], 'How does he know our mother is Zilpah? How does he know who...?' He says, Reuven said, in his heart, 'This [person], I think he is my brother. No one knows children of whom we are, this [person] knows children of whom we are, how come?' BA: Mmm... SZ: So this was it [=this was what had happened]. They came once again, [and] he had also done the same. [On the] third time he says 'Bring Binyamin!' They went [away] [and] said to their father: 'He wants Binyamin'. He says 'I will not give Benjamin.' He says um, him... [lit. this this...] Yehudah says 'I have two sons,' Woe! my body is craked [d-r-z?] sweat [d-_-s?], he says 'Slaughter both of them if I do [lit. did] not bring Binyamin alive to you'. He [Yaakov] says 'Woe! you have killed me! [by having said that] Which are your sons, which are my sons?! [=your sons are as dear to me as mine] BA: True, SZ: Woe! Why did you say such [things]?!' He gave him Benjamin. An angel/messeng-er went [and] put,... his Kiddush goblet in the saddle bag [of Biyamin], and they went away and came back, You know all of it. They opened it, it turned out at Benjamin['s bag]. He says 'You shall give Benjamin to me, you shall go away without Benjamin.' They say 'We shall not go. We shall fight [lit. make a war], we shall destroy Egypt!' Yehuda rose [and] said [lit. he says] 'I Shall destroy Egypt.' He says this um... 'So-and-so go ahead, like that, and so-and-so enter through this street, and...' All of the brothers, Shimon and Levi and... and Zecharyahu eh Zcharcharu, and Amnonu, and the other one... I know all of them, their names, all twelve [of them]. May they be well, all twelve [of them]. So they went [onwards] in their state [of belligerence]. He called them, Ephraim, he says to him 'Where is my Kiddush goblet? You have stolen it'. He says 'We have not stolen it'. They searched [and] searched, they saw it was in the luggage of Benjamin. He says 'Benjamin shall belong to me [lit. is for me]. Once, twice, and three times, the angel placed it [in Binyamin's bag], he says, Yehuda says 'I will strike [with] this sward now [right] here, [and] destroy half of Egypt!'. He [Yosef] saw two of his [Yehuda's] hairs, eh, they were boiling, [Yehuda is about to] destroy a [certain] place, Yosef [knew]. He says to Menashe and Ephraim his sons, he says 'Embrace his, this... put your hands upon his shoulder, all of his veins will sit down [=settle down, calm down]'. They hugged him, they have- like that, they did like that, he says 'Why! These hands are hands of my father's house,... BA: My father's house, SZ: ...that have touched me!' He came, he says, immediately then Yosef uncovered his Tzitzit, Tallit, [and] said 'Do not destroy your house [=family], I am your brother'. They gathered all of them, they made... they made good food, Menashe and Ephraim slaughtered a sheep. They served them [lit. they placed in front of them], they ate, he says 'Leave Binyamin alone, I will give you a royal coach [or: sedan chair] of gold, put my father [on it[, but [first] give him this coat of mine. he has been deprived [of me] for these [past] twelve years, fifteen years, [so he would] rub his eyes with it [with the coat] [lit. rub it with his eyes], his eyes will light [he will regain his joy]'. And he kneaded pastries for him, in his [own] hand, and he separated [the portion of] Challah from them. He says 'Give them to my father [so that] he shall eat [and] bless over them'. they say 'Well now we have rejoiced [lit. our joy came] and... we will bring to our father [the good kews], and Yosef our brother is alive...' Who has heard? Who has heard? BA: Um... What's her name? Not Osnat, eh, SZ: No! BA: Asher, the daughter of Asher. SZ: The daughter of Asher heard, about this [thing], Serah BA: What is her name? Serah the daughter of Asher! SZ: Serah the daughter of Asher was at [lit. upon] the fountain, she threw away the pitcher, she ran [away and] came. [While] her brother is in the rocking cradle, she threw her hand [to the cradle, (=rocked the cradle)] saying 'Lae lae lae, by the head of my uncle Yosef who is alive in Egypt!' [Yaakov] says 'Life of grandpa [affectionate address] say it one more time, death shall not come onto you!' She said one more time 'Lae lae by the head of... Moshe eh... this, my uncle Yosef is a king in Egypt'. He says 'Death shall not come onto you'. And [then] all of them came, they put, gave him... this and he put... His eyes became bright/shined/lit [=he rejoiced, revived], there was [or: there started] a great joy and celebration. And then they rose, load [the coaches], went, he [Yosef] gave them the land of Goshen, he made out of all of them kings and ministers, as he had promised them [lit. what he promised to them]. He says 'I will make all of you kings and ministers'. They sat [=dwelled] seventeen years in Egypt, seventeen years they have dwelled in that house - in those houses, each one [of them] and his [own] house. Afterwards, Yaakov our father, went, asking of God, saying, 'people die in the streets, oh Master of the universe, give them three days of illness [lit. that they be sick]'. He [God] says 'It shall begin with you [lit. it has begun from you]'. He saw one day, he woke up, [that] he does not feel well. He says 'Yehudah go bring/fetch Yosef [so] he [shall] sit next to/near me, in front of me'. He says 'Bring them, I have seventy grandchildren and great-grandchildren, seat down all of them'. All of the loiterers sat down, his sons, all twelve [of them]. Their wives, all of them set down. Yosef sat [their] three days, near to his father, near him [lit. upon], his hands on his father's head, and all of the [other] children. He says 'My son, put me on mules, carry me to this, my grave is there, in eh... Hebron'. From Egypt by foot, by mules, to Hebron. How much is it [=how far is it]? That is the fine precious story. BA: Yes, precious. SZ: [It is a] true [story], BA: Really. I did not know this one like that [lit. that I do not know like that], SZ: It's real. BA: Yes, SZ: They cam [and] sat down, [They] put their father in this... royal chariot, they rode away [and] came. They came there was Esau, he says 'You will not take him through. You will not burry him. I do not permit/allow it'. He is his brother, they were in a one [same] womb [how could he do that?]. He is his twin brother. Naphtali of eh... rose, grandson of Yehudah. The son of his son. He was slightly lame/had a small limp. He says 'Who is he that do not allow... us to take him [Yaakov] [through]?' They say 'It is this [person], it is Esau his brother'. He raised his hands, Traq! He stroke once at his neck [lit. necks]. [May it be] far away from here, his head was cut off, gr gr gr gr gr it went [=rolled] under the foot of Yaakov. So his head, won this merit. It has, in the Cave of the Patriarchs, it has a small room, the first [room], it [the head] is there [lit. in it]. The others [the Patriarchs and Matriarchs] are all in.. in [a separate] room. BA: Beautiful! SZ: This [story], my brother has told all of it, word... BA: I did not know all of it, SZ: word by word to me. It is in my head. This is how it is, a person should, know [=be knowledgeable]. BA: True. SZ: [One should] understand. One from the other [=The stories and knowledge are passed on from one person to the other], [but yet] all of it is [=comes] from God. I, what do I know? And if he had not told me, I would not know/have known anything BA, OA: Right, right. SZ: But, I grasped [firmly] his sayings, of this... [of those stories, of Torah]. Yallah! You have not eaten anything, you have not drunk. BA: We have eaten, this, which is of a Mitzvah [some refreshments from a feast of a Brit Milah], and it was splendid. SZ: She has [just] now told me, 'I saw the child', I told her 'Thank God, [every thing is] all right', yes. BA: Good, good, good. SZ: Yallah, may [only] good happen to you. BA: May you merit [to live] many good days.

Translation:

SZ: Have I told you [the story] of Yosef the Righteous?
BA: No,
SZ: When he went, when he came out of... 
His brothers put him...
BA: In the pit,
SZ: In this, in the pit. They say 'We shall not ki-,' one says we shall kill him [and] one [=the other] says we shall not kill him, [eventually] they did not kill him.
[He] was put into the well, but that coat of him had torn [lit. was made one tear]. 
They soaked it in blood, [and] took it to his father.
But his father knew he was not killed.
He did not... make a [period of] mourning for him.
That coat, one snippet/piece [of it] remained with him.
So when the merchants of Egypt came,
they [they brothers] say: 'we have one boy, young man, for sale,'  
They [the merchants] say [=answer]: 'we will buy him'.
[When] they have bought him, he says: 'For God's sake take me to Rachel my mother, 
[in order that] I shall visit her, her tomb.
It is [on] your way, Beth-Lehem.
From Jerusalem, from the field, they took him to Beth-Lehem.
So when he went to Beth-Lehem, - they all have been
merchants full [of], full [of] money, they carry property[/wealth] and goods
they sell [it] in Egypt.
He went [and] entered he says, he cried out a voice to his mother, in Kurdish [=Aramaic],
He says: [singing] 'Oh Mother! Rise and look at me [=see the poor condition I am in],
oh Mother! Rise and look at me!
Here, on my leg there are chains,
[???] on my hands,
ropes are placed on my legs,
I have been sold to my owners,
I have been sold to my owners.'
A voice came from his mother, all of the men shivered,
the grave of his mother shook, 
all of the people trembled.
A voice came from his mother,
he [the voice] cried out: 'Oh my son Yosef, do not fear,
oh my son Yosef, do not fear,
three times, oh my son Yosef, do not fear,
trust in your God,
Wherever you go, you shall win [or: In the place that you go to, you will win],
you shall become the king of Egypt,
you shall become the king of Egypt.
BA: That is so beautiful,
SZ: She had said those [things], [and] those merchants,
then [or: immediately] untied his legs, 
released him [of his chains], saying as long as he has this mother, 
why [???] why did we tie him so [harshly]?
They untied him, he visited his mother, they sat down [and] sat him down [and] went away. 
They brought his to Egypt,
'We have a boy for Egypt!',
Potipar came [and] bought him. 
Potipar does not have children,
he has taken Osnat [=Asenath] the daughter of Dinah,
BA: Yes,
SZ: from the field when Yaakov our Father begot her. 
They have tied her in a hammock, 
they named her [lit. put her name],
eh this,
Osnat.
Under/after Osnat [???].
Potipar was wandering around, hunting [lit. was turning around], [at].
He heard xwa qwa qwa a voice crying, he says 'Oh! [May I be] Your sacrifice, God, you have given me a daughter'. 
He put for her... a Turkish delight was in her mouth and he took her away.
He brought her up, Yosef also came [to Egypt] fourteen year old, 
also he.
Both of them at the same night...
became pregnant.
Rachel, this, Leah brought [some] sa_ad_ke [=a Kurdish vegetable which represent here the mandrakes] to her sister, 
BA: Yes,
SZ: She [Leah] took the sa_ad_ke, [and] said to her 'Swallow those two, also I, but,
for the past fifteen days Yaakov has been with me,
now he is [=he should be] your guest, but tonight give him to me until ten o'clock'.
She said to Yaakov 'Go tonight again to my sister Leah.'
He Says 'Why? I should be with you', she says 'No, Go.'
He went away, so she made a Din Ve-H_e_bon,
she went outside, after he had gone to he house,
She says: 'Oh Ruler of the universe, oh Ruler of the universe, I have six sons,
if you give me a [an other] son, give this son to my sister Rachel,
[and] give the daughter to me.
I need one daughter.
So he came - the Ruler of the universe sent an angel,
he [the angel] said 'He [God] had accepted your plea [lit. the plea, He accepted it from you], 
'You have made Din Ve-H_e_bon with the Creator of the universe, 
you have a daughter in your womb, name her [lit. put (her name on) her]
Dinah, you have done Din Ve-H_e_bon with the Holy One blessed be He,
her name is Dinah.
BA: Yes,
SZ: and a son will also come to Rachel, his name is [=should be] Yosef.'
BA: Yes,
SZ: Here, this is their story, 
BA: Good,
SZ: By brother is the one who told it to me.
BA: Yes, I have never heard it [before],
SZ: So the two of them, she gave birth to a daughter, Leah,
Rachel gave birth to a son,
So, um...
They came to Shchem,
they had already left [lit. went out 
from] Laban.
Yaakov our father had sat [=dwelled] [there], enough,
he wants to come to his Jerusalem.
He came, - he came to Shchem, he had a house in Shchem.
They kidnapped her, Dinah,
Hamor son of Shchem kidnaped her,
son of Shchem.
BA: Yes she was very beautiful,
SZ: Yes,
They kidnaped her, they searched after her for three days, [but] she was not found [lit. s not seen]. 
His father came, the father of Hamor,
Shchem,
he says,...
We all shall be together [lit. with in one another],
your daughter is with us, and we will give [you] whatever you want,
we shall do this. Her brothers say 'Absolutely no!
we are twelve Jewish brothers,
they are Muslims, we will give the girl to Muslims?!' 
He says 'We have one condition to you: we will circumcise all of you,
from small [=young] to big [=old].
[If] you except [that condition] we will give our daughter.'
Go ahead, Shimon and Levi, fall upon [=attack],...
Shchem.
Even also a month old child 
they have cut.
All of them died, all of their sons died, the daughter remained [alive]. 
[When] they rose, there was [lit. is] not a single man [left] in Shchem. 
They brought back their daughter.
That man [or: her husband; Hamor], they have also killed. I know it [=the story] all.
So she came...
she became pregnant,
God gave her a daughter, so they say 'How...?' [=This is inappropriate, what shall we do?]
She was put inside [a room] for nine months,
They did not let even one human being know she was pregnant,
until,
that day which she should have given birth/gave birth, labor pangs started [lit. came to her], she was taken to the field,
[???, perhaps a verb from the noun xesa, = lying-in woman]
Her mother stood [=acted as] [and]  
Her father  made for her a hammock [cradle], he make for her an amulet, 
he put it on her right shoulder, 
the amulet,
and... he put [wrote there] a [sacred] name [or: her name], [in order that] no bird, 
will be able come near to that place,
nor touch her or...  cause her harm, and not...
No one was able to come near her,
[since] the name of Yaakov our father was with her. 
That was that... [or: She was born...]
She went away, he [Potipar] took her, he brought her up, Yosef also came,
so he had [so it came about that he had; lit. it became to him] a daughter and a son, 
Potipar,
BA: Yes,
SZ: So then his wife fell in love with [also: desired] Yosef,
she does...
no, he cannot overcome her [lit. he cannot over her], he always tells her no and no and no and no and...
She grabbed him [and] pulled him from his back.
She tore all of his clothes from his behind,
[he did] not...
He says 'Forever, you are my mother.' 
He did not looked at her.
She had torn his clothes. [But] she started shouting 'Potipar, come and see!
You have brought this [person], he came... He wants to sleep with her, that which is here.  
He says 'Alright, to the court.' 
They went to court.
They say 'Bring him [in], make him stand here. If it is from here [=from the front], his clothes are torn,
[then] it is he who went and asked [to sleep with] her.
If they are torn from behind, it is she, not... [him].
He did not initiate any conflict with her [lit. He does not have any apprehension of her. =He was not to be blamed].  
They saw they were [torn] from behind, the clothes, all of them torn over here. 
They say, 'Nevertheless, we will give him [a punishment of] two years,
prison,
BA: For [the sake of] her honour.
SZ: Yes, for [the sake of] the honour of Potipar.
They gave him, [the punishment of] two year.
[But] after that, in one instance, he have erred, 
[it was] him [who erred],
[so] he stayed [in prison] another ten years.
He erred with um...
um...
Whoever have dreamt [lit. was seeing] a dream used to come to him,
- well he was a "man of dreams" wi, - 
so one [person] came... 
he had seen in his dream, [this person] was imprisoned with him - He did no eat!
Yosef the Righteous did not eat food, he drank [only] water and bread. Bread there, and water he used to eat, ten years he stayed in prison. 
Bread and water he ate, he did not [even] taste the food of...
the Egyptians.
They would bring him three plates/dishes [lit. three plates used to come], [but] he used to give it to this [person] and to this and to this...
He says [to them] 'I am satiated from [=thanks to] God. 
So um, that...
This one this, one,
he was his baker,
one [=the other] was a winemaker/dealer.
That baker saw in his dream, he [=Yosef] tell him 'Tomorrow,
at three o'clock they will hang you.
That which is not here .
You [will already] be dead.
That winemaker/dealer, he tell him 'You will come back, you will stay,...
under the hand of the king, and... be well'.
But, he erred in one thing, he told him [or: he erred by saying one word to him],
he says 'Remember me [at] that time'.
He should not have said it!
BA: God will remember.
SZ: [He should have said:] Oh Master of the universe, put in his heart that he may remember me.
He erred.
[May I be the] sacrifice of God, [He] caught on him [=did not approve, became angry for that], He says 'You will stay [there] another ten years'.
[So] it is [lit. those are] twelve years. [=this is how he stayed there twelve years] 
After that, only then [or: at last] at that time, the king saw in his dream,
seven cows eating seven... 
this...
fat cows
eating,
thin cow,  and seven stalks eating.
He saw [the dream], he went [and] say [lit. he says] 'I want one to come [and] solve my dream,
what, what did I see in my dream? I do not know what did I see'.
So then that winemaker/dealer remembered.
He says 'No one can solve it but that which is in the prison, his name is [lit. they call him] Yosef'.
They went [and] he brought him.
When they have brought him [from prison], [and] brought him in to the king,
what did he say to the king?
Have you read [it]?
Do you know what did he say to the king?
OA: Um... When they have asked him what was the solution?
SZ: Yes, no.
BA: No.
SZ: When he has entered to him [=to the king's hall] what did he say?
BA: All solutions belong to God.
SZ: No, he said 'Peace be upon you!'
BA: Oh,
SZ: The king rose and sat in his chair,
He says to him 'I speak [lit. know] seventy languages, this one I do not know.
What is it?' He says to him 'That is Hebrew.
BA: Oh,
SZ: This "Peace be upon you" is in Hebrew.' 
'Who are you?' He says 'I am a Hebrew.'
BA: Mm...
SZ: He said to him 'My seal ring is on your hand [=Here, I give you my ring] ,
you shall become a king,
in Egypt,
every thing shall be under your hand [=you shall rule Egypt].
What is [the solution of] my dream?' He says 'This is how it has been, this is how it has been,' He says 'Aha! 
you shall become the king of Egypt.'
He became a king,
now, a king should be put in a chariot with a horse,
they should drive him around the streets of Egypt, saying [=announcing] 'Hey, come see this [man]'.
They took him bath house, he bathed and dressed in royal clothes and he put [on] a royal crown,
they put him in a chariot and drive him around, all of the daughters of the noblemen, what have you, 
wrote letters and threw them to him into,...
his chariot.
This one [=girl] says 'I want you', that one says 'I want you', that one says 'I want you'.
But that certain Osnat, what does she have? She has nothing, she has this amulet of her father.  
She wrapped it... [or: rolled it up...]
BA: A bazband is a bracelet?
SZ: Bazband they call it,
This this, like a...
it is made - not a bracelet,
un, writ...
this of him, his name,
BA: Written? Ah!
SZ: Write...
and wrapped in this, and made [into]...
BA: and they put it here, yes, 
SZ: [They (impersonal)] put threads  onto it and tie it with [a piece of] cloth. 
BA: Yes.
SZ: Its name is bazband.
He [Yosef] reads it and...
'It is a amulet of my father, and this is the name of father and this is the daughter of my sister,
now, who shall I go and marry?
She who threw [the amulet to me], that is the one.'
BA: Of course, of course,
SZ: He says 'I want Asenath, the daughter of Potipar'.
So they married [lit. blessed] her to him, she brought him [=gave birth to] Menashe and Ephraim,
BA: That is beautiful,
SZ: So afterwards they came, it came about,...
He tells him 'Well what, what shall we do, now that you became the king? [lit. what shall we do in order you become a king?] He [Yosef] answer 'These [coming] seven years will be [lit. are] good,
After these seven years a famine [lit. high cost of living, dearth] will come,
people will not be able to find bread [lit. bread will not be find in/cought to people]'. 
So, he made [some] pits, filled them, blessed,
All of them grew out wheat at that very moment they were sown.
But what others made, rotted.   
BA: Yes,
It has become full of worms [lit. worms became].
SZ: Yes. At that very same time, his brothers came [to their father].
Yaakov our father sat down, they say to him 'Father,
smell in which there is, in which city there is
the smell of wheat'.
He smelled [and] smelled, he says 'The smell comes from Egypt, 
go to Egypt.'
I know all of it, all of the words, accurately, it is not in vain.
BA: That is beautiful, yes.
SZ: 'All of you, go to Egypt, 
but my son,
- [Each] one [of you] protect the other [and] God shall protect you, - [but] I will not give my son Benjamin.
[Here] he is, on my knee.
Until I die, Binyamin is mine.
Yosef went away, will I now also be without Benyamin?'
So he send them away,
at the same time Yosef saw,
with this [thing] of his [=his goblet],
he watches [and sees], ten riders have arrived.
They divided themselves, every two, 
five [of them], entered trough a [different] trail. 
He sent [men] towards them, saying 'Bring them here.'
They came, he says 'What are you looking for? Are you spies?' They say 'No,
we are not spies, we came [in order] to take...
wheat [from] here.
We do not have [any], our father has sent us.'
So that's it. You know their story.
One time he made for them a meal,
[and] in that very first time,
when they have just entered, he says 'Two,...
six sons of Leah, shall sit here'. 
He prepared for them a table.
BA: yes,
SZ: 'Two [sons] of Bilhah, over there.
Two of um...
BA: Zilpah?
SZ: Zilpah, over there'.
He set [lit. made] tables  for them.
Them, they look at each other [lit. those, one looks at the other],
'How does he know our mother is Zilpah? How does he know who...?'
He says, Reuven said,
in his heart, 'This [person],
I think he is my brother.
No one knows children of whom we are, this [person] knows children of whom we are, how come?'
BA: Mmm...
SZ: So this was it [=this was what had happened]. They came once again, [and] he had also done the same. 
[On the] third time he says 'Bring Binyamin!'
They went [away] [and] said to their father:
'He wants Binyamin'.
He says 'I will not give Benjamin.'
He says um, him... [lit. this this...] Yehudah says 'I have two sons,'
Woe! my body is craked [d-r-z?] sweat [d-_-s?], he says 'Slaughter both of them if I do [lit. did] not bring Binyamin alive to you'. 
He [Yaakov] says 'Woe! you have killed me! [by having said that]
Which are your sons, which are my sons?! [=your sons are as dear to me as mine] 
BA: True,
SZ: Woe! Why did you say such [things]?!'
He gave him Benjamin.
An angel/messeng-er went [and] put,...
his Kiddush goblet in the saddle bag [of Biyamin],
and they went away and came back,
You know all of it. They opened it,
it turned out at Benjamin['s bag]. He says 'You shall give Benjamin to me,
you shall go away without Benjamin.'
They say 'We shall not go.
We shall fight [lit. make a war],
we shall destroy Egypt!'
Yehuda rose [and] said [lit. he says] 'I Shall destroy Egypt.' 
He says this um...
'So-and-so go ahead, like that, and so-and-so enter through this street, and...'
All of the brothers, 
Shimon and Levi and...
and Zecharyahu eh Zcharcharu,
and Amnonu,
and the other one...
I know all of them, their names, all twelve [of them].
May they be well, all twelve [of them].
So they went [onwards] in their state [of belligerence].
He called them,
Ephraim,
he says to him
'Where is my Kiddush goblet? You have stolen it'. He says 'We have not stolen it'.
They searched [and] searched, they saw it was in the luggage of Benjamin. He says 'Benjamin shall belong to me [lit. is for me]. 
Once, twice, and three times, the angel placed it [in Binyamin's bag],
he says, Yehuda says 'I will strike [with] this sward now [right] here,
[and] destroy half of Egypt!'.
He [Yosef] saw two of his [Yehuda's] hairs,
eh, they were boiling,
[Yehuda is about to] destroy a [certain] place, Yosef [knew]. 
He says to Menashe and Ephraim his sons, he says 'Embrace his, this...
put your hands upon his shoulder,
all of his veins will sit down [=settle down, calm down]'.
They hugged him, they have- like that, they did like that,
he says 'Why! These hands are hands of my father's house,...
BA: My father's house, 
SZ: ...that have touched me!'
He came, he says, immediately then  Yosef uncovered his Tzitzit, Tallit, 
[and] said 'Do not destroy your house [=family], I am your brother'.
They gathered all of them, they made...
they made good food,  Menashe and Ephraim slaughtered a sheep. 
They served them [lit. they placed in front of them], they ate, he says 'Leave Binyamin alone, I will give you a royal coach [or: sedan chair] of gold,
put my father [on it[, but [first] give him this coat of mine. 
he has been deprived [of me] for these [past] twelve years,
fifteen years,
[so he would] rub his eyes with it [with the coat] [lit. rub it with his eyes], his eyes will light [he will regain his joy]'.
And he kneaded pastries for him,
in his [own] hand, and he separated [the portion of] Challah  from them.
He says 'Give them to my father [so that] he shall eat [and] bless over them'.

they say 'Well now we have rejoiced [lit. our joy came] and...
we will bring to our father [the good kews], and Yosef our brother is alive...'
Who has heard?
Who has heard?
BA: Um... What's her name? Not Osnat, eh,
SZ: No!
BA: Asher, the daughter of Asher.
SZ: The daughter of Asher heard, about this [thing], Serah
BA: What is her name? Serah the daughter of Asher!
SZ: Serah the daughter of Asher was at [lit. upon] the fountain, she threw away the pitcher,
she ran [away and] came.
[While] her brother is in the rocking cradle,
she threw her hand [to the cradle, (=rocked the cradle)] saying 'Lae lae lae,
by the head of my uncle Yosef who is alive in Egypt!'
[Yaakov] says 'Life of grandpa [affectionate address] say it one more time, death shall not come onto you!'
She said one more time 'Lae lae by the head of...
Moshe eh... this, my uncle Yosef is a king in Egypt'.
He says 'Death shall not come onto you'.
And [then] all of them came, they put, gave him... this and he put...
His eyes became bright/shined/lit [=he rejoiced, revived],
there was [or: there started] a great joy and celebration.
And then they rose, load [the coaches], went, he [Yosef] gave them the land of Goshen,
he made out of all of them kings and ministers,
as he had promised them [lit. what he promised to them].
He says 'I will make all of you kings and ministers'.
They sat [=dwelled] seventeen years in Egypt,
seventeen years they have dwelled in that house - in those houses, each one [of them] and his [own] house.
Afterwards,
Yaakov our father,
went,
asking of God, saying,
'people die in the streets, oh Master of the universe,
give them three days of illness [lit. that they be sick]'.
He [God] says 'It shall begin with you [lit. it has begun from you]'.
He saw one day, he woke up, 
[that] he does not feel well.
He says 'Yehudah go bring/fetch Yosef [so] he [shall] sit next to/near me, in front of me'.
He says 'Bring them, I have seventy grandchildren and great-grandchildren,
seat down all of them'. All of the loiterers sat down, his sons, all twelve [of them].
Their wives, all of them set down.
Yosef sat [their] three days,
near to his father, near him [lit. upon],
his hands on his father's head, and all of the [other] children.
He says 'My son, put me on mules, carry me to this, my grave is there, in eh... Hebron'.
From Egypt by foot, by mules, to Hebron.
How much is it [=how far is it]? That is the fine precious story.
BA: Yes, precious.
SZ: [It is a] true [story],
BA: Really. I did not know this one like that [lit. that I do not know like that],
SZ: It's real.
BA: Yes,
SZ: They cam [and] sat down,
[They] put their father in this...
royal chariot,
they rode away [and] came. 
They came there was Esau, he says 'You will not take him through. You will not burry him.
I do not permit/allow it'. He is his brother, they were in a one [same] womb [how could he do that?]. 
He is his twin brother.
Naphtali of eh... rose, 
grandson of Yehudah.
The son of his son.
He was slightly lame/had a small limp.
He says 'Who is he that do not allow... us to take him [Yaakov] [through]?'
They say 'It is this [person], it is Esau his brother'.
He raised his hands,
Traq! He stroke once at his neck [lit. necks].
[May it be] far away from here,  his head was cut off, 
gr gr gr gr gr it went [=rolled] under the foot of Yaakov.
So his head,
won this merit. It has, in the Cave of the Patriarchs, 
it has a small room,
the first [room], it [the head] is there [lit. in it].
The others [the Patriarchs and Matriarchs] are all in.. 
in [a separate] room.
BA: Beautiful!
SZ: This [story], my brother has told all of it, word...
BA: I did not know all of it,
SZ: word by word to me.
It is in my head.
This is how it is, a person should, know [=be knowledgeable].
BA: True.
SZ: [One should] understand. One from the other [=The stories and knowledge are passed on from one person to the other], [but yet] all of it is [=comes] from God.
I, what do I know? And if he had not told me, I would not know/have known anything
BA, OA: Right, right.
SZ: But,
I grasped [firmly] his sayings, of this... [of those stories, of Torah].
Yallah!
You have not eaten anything, you have not drunk.
BA: We have eaten,
this, which is of a Mitzvah [some refreshments from a feast of a Brit Milah],
and it was splendid.
SZ: She has [just] now told me, 'I saw the child',
I told her 'Thank God, [every thing is] all right', yes. 
BA: Good, good, good.
SZ: Yallah, may [only] good happen to you.
BA: May you merit [to live] many good days.
