a
stranger,
in the land of Canaan.
And Jacob dwelleth
in the land of
his father's
sojournings
--
in the land of Canaan.
These are the
generations
of Jacob .
Joseph, being
seventeen years old
, was
feeding
the
flock
with his brethren ;
and
the lad
was
with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives :
and Joseph brought
unto
his
father
their evil report
.
These `
are '
births
of Jacob :
Joseph, a
son
of
seventeen years, hath
been
enjoying
himself
with his brethren among
the flock,
(and
he
`is'
a
youth,)
with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives ,
and Joseph bringeth
in
an
account
of
their evil unto
their
father
.
Now
Israel loved Joseph more than all
his children
, because
he was
the
son of his old age :
and he
made him a coat of
many
colors.
And
Israel hath
loved Joseph more than any
of
his sons

he `is'
a
son of his old age ,

that their father loved him more than all
his brethren, they hated
him, and could
not speak peaceably
unto
him.

that their father hath
loved him more than any
of
his brethren, and

his brethren :
and they hated
him
yet
the
more.

a dream, and declareth
to
his brethren ,
and they add
still
more to
hate
him
.
And he said
unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
And he saith
unto them, `
Hear ye
, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
For
, behold
, we were
binding sheaves
in the field, and ,
lo, my sheaf
arose
, and also stood upright;
and
, behold
, your sheaves
stood
round about, and made
obeisance
to my sheaf
.
that
, lo
, we are
binding bundles
in the midst
of
the
field, and lo, my bundle
hath
arisen
, and hath
also stood up
, and
lo
, your bundles
are
round about, and bow
themselves
to my bundle
. '
And his brethren said
to him, Shalt
thou indeed
reign over us? or
shalt
thou indeed
have
dominion
over us? And they hated
him
yet
the
more for his dreams, and for his words.
And his brethren say
to him, `Dost
thou certainly
reign over us? dost
thou certainly
rule
over us? '
and they add
still
more to
hate
him,
for his dreams, and for his words.
And he dreamed
yet another dream, and told
it his brethren, and said
, Behold
, I have dreamed a dream more;
and
, behold
, the sun and the moon and the
eleven stars made
obeisance
to me.
And he dreameth
yet another dream, and recounteth
it to
his brethren, and saith
, `Lo
, I have dreamed a dream again
, and
lo
, the sun and the moon ,
and eleven stars ,
are
bowing
themselves
to me. '
And he told
it
to
his father, and to
his brethren :
and his father rebuked
him, and said
unto
him, What is this dream that
thou hast dreamed
? Shall
I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed
come
to bow down
ourselves to thee to the earth?
And he recounteth
unto
his father, and unto
his brethren ;
and his father pusheth
against
him, and saith
to
him, `
What `
is '
this dream which
thou hast dreamt
? do
we
certainly
come
--
I ,
and thy mother ,
and thy brethren --
to bow ourselves to thee ,
to the earth? '
And his brethren envied
him ;
but
his father observed
the saying
.
and his brethren are
zealous
against
him ,
and
his father hath
watched
the matter
.
And his brethren went
to feed their
father's
flock in Shechem .

unto Joseph, Do
not thy brethren feed
the
flock
in Shechem? come, and I will

And he said
to him, Here am I .

unto Joseph, `Are
not thy brethren feeding
in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them ;'
and he saith
to him, `
Here `
am '
I ;'
And he said
to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether
it
be
well
with
thy brethren, and well
with
the flocks;
and bring me word again.
So
he sent
him out
of
the vale
of Hebron, and he came
to Shechem.

to him, `
Go, I pray thee, see the
peace
of
thy brethren, and the peace
of
the
flock,
and bring me back
word ;'

him from
the valley
of Hebron, and he cometh
to Shechem.

man found
him, and ,
behold
, he was
wandering in the field :

him, and lo
, he is
wandering in the field ,
and the man asketh
him, saying, `
What seekest thou? '

, I
seek
my brethren :
tell
me, I pray thee, where they feed
their
flocks.
and he saith
, `
My brethren I
am
seeking,
declare
to
me, I pray thee, where they are
feeding?'
And the man said
, They are
departed
hence;

, Let us go to Dothan ,'

after his brethren, and findeth

another, `Lo
, this man
of
the
dreams
cometh ;
Come
now therefore
, and let
us
slay him, and cast him into some
pit
, and we
will
say
, Some
evil beast hath devoured him :
and we shall
see what will
become
of
his dreams.

slay him, and cast him into one
of
the
pits
, and have

, An
evil beast hath devoured him ;
and we see what his dreams are
. '

it
, and he
delivered
him out of their hands;

Let us not smite
the
life;'

unto them, Shed no blood ,

cast him into this pit that
is in the wilderness, and lay
no
hand upon him ;
that
he
might
rid
him out of their hands
, to deliver
him to
his father again
.
