Genesis 37:1-5

1Now Jacob lived in 1the land where his father had lived as a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2These are the records of the generations of Jacob.

Joseph, when he was 2seventeen years of age, was pasturing the flock with his brothers, while he was still a youth, along with 3the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought back a 4bad report about them to their father. 3Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons, because he was 5the son of his old age; and he made him a 67multicolored tunic. 4And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they 8hated him and could not speak to him 9on friendly terms.

5Then Joseph 1011had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
