37:1
And
Jacob
dwelt in
the land
wherein his father was a
stranger
, in the land of
Canaan
.
37:2
These are
the generations of Jacob
.
Joseph
, being
seventeen years old
, was
feeding the flock
with his
brethren
; and the
lad
was with the sons of
Bilhah
, and with the sons of
Zilpah
,
his father's wives
: and Joseph brought unto his father their
evil report
.
37:3
Now
Israel
loved Joseph more than all his children
, because he was
the son of his old age
: and he made him a
coat of many colours
.
37:4
And when his brethren
saw
that
their father loved him more
than all his brethren,
they hated him
, and could not
speak peaceably
unto him.
37:5
And Joseph dreamed
a dream
, and he told it his brethren: and they
hated him yet the more
.
37:6
And he said unto them,
Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed
: 37:7 For,
behold
, we were
binding sheaves
in the field
, and,
lo
,
my sheaf arose
, and also
stood upright
; and, behold, your
sheaves
stood round about
, and
made obeisance
to my
sheaf
.
37:8
And his brethren said to him,
Shalt thou indeed reign over us?
or
shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?
And they hated him yet the more
for his dreams, and for his words
.
37:9
And he dreamed
yet another dream
, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have
dreamed a dream more
; and, behold,
the sun
and
the moon
and
the eleven stars
made
obeisance
to me.
37:10
And he told it to his
father
, and to his
brethren
: and
his father rebuked him
, and said unto him,
What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?
Shall
I
and thy
mother
and thy brethren indeed come to
bow down
ourselves to thee to
the earth
?
37:11
And
his brethren envied him
; but his father
observed the saying
.
37:12
And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in
Shechem
.
37:13
And Israel said unto Joseph,
Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?
come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him,
Here am I
.
37:14
And he said to him, Go,
I pray thee
, see whether it be
well with thy brethren
, and
well with the flocks
; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of
the vale of Hebron
, and he came to Shechem.
37:15
And
a certain man
found him, and,
behold
, he was
wandering in the field
: and the man asked him, saying,
What seekest thou?
37:16
And he said,
I seek my brethren
:
tell me
, I
pray thee
, where they
feed
their
flock
s.
37:17
And the man said, They are
departed hence
; for I heard them say,
Let us go
to
Dothan
. And Joseph
went after his brethren
, and found them in Dothan.
37:18
And when they saw him
afar off
, even before he came near unto them, they
conspired against
him to
slay
him.
37:19
And they said
one to another
, Behold,
this dreamer cometh
.
37:20
Come now therefore, and
let us slay him
, and cast him into
some pit
, and we will say,
Some evil beast hath devoured him
: and we shall see
what will become of his dreams
.
37:21
And
Reuben
heard it, and he delivered him
out of their hands
; and said,
Let us not kill him
.
37:22
And Reuben said unto them,
Shed no blood
, but
cast him into this pit
that is in the
wilderness
, and
lay no hand upon him
; that he might rid him
out of their hands
, to
deliver
him to his father again.
37:23
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they
stript
Joseph out of his
coat
, his
coat of many colours
that was on him;
37:24 And they
took him, and cast him into a pit
: and the pit was
empty
, there was no
water
in it.
37:25
And they sat down to eat
bread
: and they
lifted up their eyes
and looked, and,
behold
, a company of
Ishmeelite
s came from
Gilead
with their
camel
s bearing
spicery
and
balm
and
myrr
h, going to carry it down to
Egypt
.
37:26
And
Judah
said unto his brethren,
What profit
is it if we slay our brother, and
conceal
his
blood
? 37:27 Come, and let us
sell him to the Ishmeelites
, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is
our brother and our flesh
. And his brethren were
content
.
37:28
Then there passed by
Midianites merchantmen
; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and
sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites
for
twenty pieces of silver
: and they brought Joseph
into Egypt
.
37:29
And Reuben returned unto the
pit
; and,
behold
, Joseph was not
in the pit
; and he
rent
his clothes.
37:30
And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
37:31
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
37:32
And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
37:33
And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
37:34
And Jacob
rent his clothes
, and
put sackcloth upon his loins
, and
mourn
ed for his son
many days
.
37:35
And
all his sons and all his daughters
rose up
to
comfort
him; but he
refused to be comforted
; and he said, For
I will go down into the grave
unto my son mourning. Thus his
father wept
for him.
37:36
And the
Midianite
s
sold him into Egypt
unto
Potiphar
, an
officer
of
Pharaoh
's, and
captain of the guard
.
