Genesis 37:3-23

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 coloursH6446.1 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.

12And his brethrenH251 wentH3212 to feedH7462 their father’sH1 flockH6629 in ShechemH7927. 13And IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, Do not thy brethrenH251 feedH7462 the flock in ShechemH7927? comeH3212, and I will send theeH7971 unto them. And he saidH559 to him, Here am I. 14And he saidH559 to him, GoH3212, I pray thee, seeH7200 whether it be wellH7965 with thy brethrenH251, and wellH7965 with the flocksH6629; and bringH7725 me wordH1697 againH7725. So he sentH7971 him out of the valeH6010 of HebronH2275, and he cameH935 to ShechemH7927.2

15And a certain manH376 found himH4672, and, behold, he was wanderingH8582 in the fieldH7704: and the manH376 asked himH7592, sayingH559, What seekestH1245 thou? 16And he saidH559, I seekH1245 my brethrenH251: tellH5046 me, I pray thee, whereH375 they feedH7462 their flocks. 17And the manH376 saidH559, They are departedH5265 henceH2088; for I heardH8085 them sayH559, Let us goH3212 to DothanH1886. And JosephH3130 wentH3212 afterH310 his brethrenH251, and foundH4672 them in DothanH1886. 18And when they sawH7200 him afar offH7350, even before he came nearH7126 unto them, they conspiredH5230 against him to slayH4191 him. 19And they saidH559 oneH376 to anotherH251, Behold, thisH1976 dreamerH2472H1167 comethH935.3 20ComeH3212 now therefore, and let us slayH2026 him, and castH7993 him into someH259 pitH953, and we will sayH559, Some evilH7451 beastH2416 hath devouredH398 him: and we shall seeH7200 what will become of his dreamsH2472. 21And ReubenH7205 heardH8085 it, and he deliveredH5337 him out of their handsH3027; and saidH559, Let us not killH5315H5221 him. 22And ReubenH7205 saidH559 unto them, ShedH8210 no bloodH1818, but castH7993 him into this pitH953 that is in the wildernessH4057, and layH7971 no handH3027 upon him; that he might ridH5337 him out of their handsH3027, to deliverH7725 him to his fatherH1 againH7725.

23And it came to pass, when JosephH3130 was comeH935 unto his brethrenH251, that they striptH853H6584 JosephH3130 out ofH854 his coatH3801, his coatH3801 of many coloursH6446 that was on him;4
