Genesis 37:1-11

1And JacobH3290 dweltH3427 in the landH776 wherein his fatherH1 was a strangerH4033, in the landH776 of CanaanH3667.1 2These are the generationsH8435 of JacobH3290. JosephH3130, being seventeenH7651H6240 yearsH8141 oldH1121, was feedingH7462 the flockH6629 with his brethrenH251; and the ladH5288 was with the sonsH1121 of BilhahH1090, and with the sonsH1121 of ZilpahH2153, his father’sH1 wivesH802: and JosephH3130 broughtH935 unto his fatherH1 their evilH7451 reportH1681. 3Now IsraelH3478 lovedH157 JosephH3130 more than all his childrenH1121, because he was the sonH1121 of his old ageH2208: and he madeH6213 him a coatH3801 of many coloursH6446.2 4And when his brethrenH251 sawH7200 that their fatherH1 lovedH157 him more than all his brethrenH251, they hatedH8130 him, and couldH3201 not speakH1696 peaceablyH7965 unto him.

5And JosephH3130 dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and he toldH5046 it his brethrenH251: and they hatedH8130 him yet the moreH3254. 6And he saidH559 unto them, HearH8085, I pray you, this dreamH2472 which I have dreamedH2492: 7For, behold, we were bindingH8432H481 sheavesH485 in the fieldH7704, and, lo, my sheafH485 aroseH6965, and also stood uprightH5324; and, behold, your sheavesH485 stood round aboutH5437, and made obeisanceH7812 to my sheafH485. 8And his brethrenH251 saidH559 to him, Shalt thou indeedH4427 reignH4427 over us? or shalt thou indeedH4910 have dominionH4910 over us? And they hatedH8130 him yet the moreH3254 for his dreamsH2472, and for his wordsH1697.

9And he dreamedH2492 yet anotherH312 dreamH2472, and toldH5608 it his brethrenH251, and saidH559, Behold, I have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 more; and, behold, the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 and the elevenH259H6240 starsH3556 made obeisanceH7812 to me. 10And he toldH5608 it to his fatherH1, and to his brethrenH251: and his fatherH1 rebukedH1605 him, and saidH559 unto him, What is this dreamH2472 that thou hast dreamedH2492? Shall I and thy motherH517 and thy brethrenH251 indeedH935 comeH935 to bow downH7812 ourselves to thee to the earthH776? 11And his brethrenH251 enviedH7065 him; but his fatherH1 observedH8104 the sayingH1697.
