1 And Jacob 3290 dwelt 3427 in the land 776 wherein his father 1 was a stranger 4033, in the land 776 of Canaan 3667.
2 These are the generations 8435 of Jacob 3290. Joseph 3130, being seventeen 6240 7651 years 8141 old 1121, was feeding 7462 the flock 6629 with his brethren 251; and the lad 5288 was with the sons 1121 of Bilhah 1090, and with the sons 1121 of Zilpah 2153, his father's 1 wives 802: and Joseph 3130 brought 935 unto his father 1 their evil 7451 report 1681.
3 Now Israel 3478 loved 157 Joseph 3130 more than all his children 1121, because he was the son 1121 of his old age 2208: and he made 6213 him a coat 3801 of many colours 6446.
4 And when his brethren 251 saw 7200 that their father 1 loved 157 him more than all his brethren 251, they hated 8130 him, and could 3201 not speak 1696 peaceably 7965 unto him.
5 And Joseph 3130 dreamed 2492 a dream 2472, and he told 5046 it his brethren 251: and they hated 8130 him yet the more 3254.
6 And he said 559 unto them, Hear 8085, I pray you, this dream 2472 which I have dreamed 2492:
7 For, behold, we were binding 481 8432 sheaves 485 in the field 7704, and, lo, my sheaf 485 arose 6965, and also stood upright 5324; and, behold, your sheaves 485 stood round about 5437, and made obeisance 7812 to my sheaf 485.
8 And his brethren 251 said 559 to him, Shalt thou indeed 4427 reign 4427 over us? or shalt thou indeed 4910 have dominion 4910 over us? And they hated 8130 him yet the more 3254 for his dreams 2472, and for his words 1697.
9 And he dreamed 2492 yet another 312 dream 2472, and told 5608 it his brethren 251, and said 559, Behold, I have dreamed 2492 a dream 2472 more; and, behold, the sun 8121 and the moon 3394 and the eleven 6240 259 stars 3556 made obeisance 7812 to me.
10 And he told 5608 it to his father 1, and to his brethren 251: and his father 1 rebuked 1605 him, and said 559 unto him, What is this dream 2472 that thou hast dreamed 2492? Shall I and thy mother 517 and thy brethren 251 indeed 935 come 935 to bow down 7812 ourselves to thee to the earth 776?
11 And his brethren 251 envied 7065 him; but his father 1 observed 8104 the saying 1697.
12 And his brethren 251 went 3212 to feed 7462 their father's 1 flock 6629 in Shechem 7927.
13 And Israel 3478 said 559 unto Joseph 3130, Do not thy brethren 251 feed 7462 the flock in Shechem 7927? come 3212, and I will send thee 7971 unto them. And he said 559 to him, Here am I.
14 And he said 559 to him, Go 3212, I pray thee, see 7200 whether it be well 7965 with thy brethren 251, and well 7965 with the flocks 6629; and bring 7725 0 me word 1697 again 7725. So he sent 7971 him out of the vale 6010 of Hebron 2275, and he came 935 to Shechem 7927.
15 And a certain man 376 found him 4672, and, behold, he was wandering 8582 in the field 7704: and the man 376 asked him 7592, saying 559, What seekest 1245 thou?
16 And he said 559, I seek 1245 my brethren 251: tell 5046 me, I pray thee, where 375 they feed 7462 their flocks.
17 And the man 376 said 559, They are departed 5265 hence 2088; for I heard 8085 them say 559, Let us go 3212 to Dothan 1886. And Joseph 3130 went 3212 after 310 his brethren 251, and found 4672 them in Dothan 1886.
18 And when they saw 7200 him afar off 7350, even before he came near 7126 unto them, they conspired 5230 against him to slay 4191 him.
19 And they said 559 one 376 to another 251, Behold, this 1976 dreamer 1167 2472 cometh 935.
20 Come 3212 now therefore, and let us slay 2026 him, and cast 7993 him into some 259 pit 953, and we will say 559, Some evil 7451 beast 2416 hath devoured 398 him: and we shall see 7200 what will become of his dreams 2472.
21 And Reuben 7205 heard 8085 it, and he delivered 5337 him out of their hands 3027; and said 559, Let us not kill 5221 5315 him.
22 And Reuben 7205 said 559 unto them, Shed 8210 no blood 1818, but cast 7993 him into this pit 953 that is in the wilderness 4057, and lay 7971 no hand 3027 upon him; that he might rid 5337 him out of their hands 3027, to deliver 7725 0 him to his father 1 again 7725.
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph 3130 was come 935 unto his brethren 251, that they stript 6584 853 Joseph 3130 out of 854 his coat 3801, his coat 3801 of many colours 6446 that was on him;
24 And they took 3947 him, and cast 7993 him into a pit 953: and the pit 953 was empty 7386, there was no water 4325 in it.
25 And they sat down 3427 to eat 398 bread 3899: and they lifted up 5375 their eyes 5869 and looked 7200, and, behold, a company 736 of Ishmeelites 3459 came 935 from Gilead 1568 with their camels 1581 bearing 5375 spicery 5219 and balm 6875 and myrrh 3910, going 1980 to carry it down 3381 to Egypt 4714.
26 And Judah 3063 said 559 unto his brethren 251, What profit 1215 is it if we slay 2026 our brother 251, and conceal 3680 his blood 1818?
27 Come 3212, and let us sell 4376 him to the Ishmeelites 3459, and let not our hand 3027 be upon him; for he is our brother 251 and our flesh 1320. And his brethren 251 were content 8085.
28 Then there passed 5674 by Midianites 4084 merchantmen 582 5503; and they drew 4900 and lifted up 5927 Joseph 3130 out of the pit 953, and sold 4376 Joseph 3130 to the Ishmeelites 3459 for twenty 6242 pieces of silver 3701: and they brought 935 Joseph 3130 into Egypt 4714.
29 And Reuben 7205 returned 7725 unto the pit 953; and, behold, Joseph 3130 was not in the pit 953; and he rent 7167 his clothes 899.
30 And he returned 7725 unto his brethren 251, and said 559, The child 3206 is not; and I, whither 575 shall I go 935?
31 And they took 3947 Joseph's 3130 coat 3801, and killed 7819 a kid 8163 of the goats 5795, and dipped 2881 the coat 3801 in the blood 1818;
32 And they sent 7971 the coat 3801 of many colours 6446, and they brought 935 it to their father 1; and said 559, This have we found 4672: know 5234 now whether it be thy son's 1121 coat 3801 or no.
33 And he knew it 5234, and said 559, It is my son's 1121 coat 3801; an evil 7451 beast 2416 hath devoured 398 him; Joseph 3130 is without doubt 2963 rent in pieces 2963.
34 And Jacob 3290 rent 7167 his clothes 8071, and put 7760 sackcloth 8242 upon his loins 4975, and mourned 56 for his son 1121 many 7227 days 3117.
35 And all his sons 1121 and all his daughters 1323 rose up 6965 to comfort 5162 him; but he refused 3985 to be comforted 5162; and he said 559, For I will go down 3381 into the grave 7585 unto my son 1121 mourning 57. Thus his father 1 wept 1058 for him.
36 And the Midianites 4092 sold 4376 him into Egypt 4714 unto Potiphar 6318, an officer 5631 of Pharaoh's 6547, and captain 8269 of the guard 2876.
