  • بَخۡسٖ very low
  • دَرَٰهِمَ dirhams
  • مَعۡدُودَةٖ few
  • وَكَانُواْ and they were
  • فِيهِ about him
  • مِنَ of
  • ٱلزَّـٰهِدِينَ those keen to give up
And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little.
Then they sold him - they [the caravan] purchased him from them - for a very low, a diminished, price, a handful of dirhams, 20 or 22; for they, that is, his brothers, set small store by him. So the caravan brought him to Egypt, where the one who had bought him sold him for 20 dinars, two pairs of sandals and two robes.
