Original text and translations

Latin text Videns Jacob vestimenta Joseph scindit vestimenta sua cum fletu, et dixit: "Fera pessima devoravit filium meum Joseph". Tulerunt autem fratres eius tunicam ilius mittentes ad patrem, quam cum cognovisset pater ait: "Fera pessima devoravit filium meum Joseph".

English translation Seeing Joseph's coat, Jacob rent his clothes, and weeping said: "An evil beast has devoured my son Joseph". And again, his brothers took his tunic, giving it to his father, who, recognising it, said: "An evil beast has devoured my son Joseph". (Trans Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
