2TheseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of JacobH3290.

JosephH3130, when 1seventeenH7651H6240 yearsH8141 of ageH1121, was pasturingH7462 the flockH6629 with his brothersH251 while he was still a youthH5288, along with 2the sonsH1121 of BilhahH1090 and the sonsH1121 of ZilpahH2153, his father’sH1 wivesH802. And JosephH3130 broughtH935 back a 3badH1681H7451 reportH1681 about them to their fatherH1. 3Now IsraelH3478 lovedH157 JosephH3130 moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 his sonsH1121, becauseH3588 he was 4the sonH1121 of his oldH2208 ageH2208; and he madeH6213 him a 56varicoloredH6446 tunicH3801. 4His brothersH251 sawH7200 that their fatherH1 lovedH157 him moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 his brothersH251; and so they 7hatedH8130 him and couldH3201 not speakH1696 to him 8on friendlyH7965 termsH7965.
