Genesis 37:1-11

1Now JacobH3290 livedH3427 in 1the landH776 whereH4033 his fatherH1 had livedH4033 asH4033 aH4033 strangerH4033, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667. 2TheseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of JacobH3290.

JosephH3130, when he was 2seventeenH7651H6240 yearsH8141 of ageH1121, was pasturingH7462 the flockH6629 with his brothersH251, while he was still a youthH5288, along with 3the sonsH1121 of BilhahH1090 and the sonsH1121 of ZilpahH2153, his father’sH1 wivesH802. And JosephH3130 broughtH935 back a 4badH1681H7451 reportH1681 about them to their fatherH1. 3Now IsraelH3478 lovedH157 JosephH3130 moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 his other sonsH1121, becauseH3588 he was 5the sonH1121 of his oldH2208 ageH2208; and he madeH6213 him a 67multicoloredH6446 tunicH3801. 4And his brothersH251 sawH7200 that their fatherH1 lovedH157 him moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 his brothersH251; and so they 8hatedH8130 him and couldH3201 not speakH1696 to him 9on friendlyH7965 termsH7965.

5Then JosephH3130 1011hadH2492 a dreamH2472, and when he toldH5046 it to his brothersH251, they hatedH8130 him evenH5750 moreH3254H5750. 6He saidH559 to them, “PleaseH4994 listenH8085 to thisH2088 dreamH2472 whichH834 I have 12hadH2492; 7for beholdH2009, we were bindingH481 sheavesH485 in the fieldH7704, and beholdH2009, my sheafH485 stoodH6965 upH6965 and alsoH1571 remainedH5324 standingH5324; and beholdH2009, your sheavesH485 gatheredH5437 aroundH5437 and 13bowedH2331 downH2331 to my sheafH485.” 8Then his brothersH251 saidH559 to him, “14Are you actuallyH4427 going to reignH4427 overH5921 us? OrH518 are you reallyH4910 going to ruleH4910 over us?” So they hatedH8130 him evenH5750 moreH3254H5750 for his dreamsH2472 and for his wordsH1697.

9Then he 15hadH2492 yetH5750 anotherH312 dreamH2472, and informedH5608 his brothersH251 of it, and saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I have 16hadH2492 yetH5750 another dreamH2472; and beholdH2009, the sunH8121 and the moonH3394, and elevenH259H6240 starsH3556 were bowingH2331 downH2331 to me.” 10He also toldH5608 it to his fatherH1 as well as to his brothersH251; and his fatherH1 rebukedH1605 him and saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 is thisH2088 dreamH2472 that you have 17hadH2492? Am I and your motherH517 and 18your brothersH251 actuallyH935 going to comeH935 to bowH2331 downH2331 to the groundH776 before you?” 11And 19his brothersH251 wereH7065 jealousH7065 of him, but his fatherH1 20keptH8104 the matterH1697 in mind.
