37Jacob lived in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.H3290H3427H776H1H4033H776H3667 2These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father.H8435H3290H3130H6240H7651H8141H1121H7462H6629H251H5288H1121H1090H1121H2153H1H802H3130H935H1H7451H1681 3Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors.H3478H157H3130H1121H1121H2208H6213H3801H6446 4But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.H251H7200H1H157H251H8130H3201H1696H7965 5Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more.H3130H2492H2472H5046H251H8130H3254 6He said to them, "Hear this dream that I have dreamed:H559H8085H2472H2492 7Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf."H481H8432H485H7704H485H6965H5324H485H5437H7812H485 8His brothers said to him, "Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.H251H559H4427H4427H4910H4910H8130H3254H2472H1697 9Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, "Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me."H2492H312H2472H5608H251H559H2492H2472H8121H3394H6240H259H3556H7812 10But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?"H5608H1H251H1H1605H559H2472H2492H517H251H935H935H7812H776 11And his brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the saying in mind.H251H7065H1H8104H1697 12Now his brothers went to pasture their father's flock near Shechem.H251H3212H7462H1H6629H7927 13And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." And he said to him, "Here I am."H3478H559H3130H251H7462H7927H3212H7971H559 14So he said to him, "Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word." So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.H559H3212H7200H7965H251H7965H6629H7725H1697H7725H7971H6010H2275H935H7927 15And a man found him wandering in the fields. And the man asked him, "What are you seeking?"H376H4672H8582H7704H376H7592H559H1245 16"I am seeking my brothers," he said. "Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock."H559H1245H251H5046H375H7462 17And the man said, "They have gone away, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.H376H559H5265H2088H8085H559H3212H1886H3130H3212H310H251H4672H1886 18They saw him from afar, and before he came near to them they conspired against him to kill him.H7200H7350H7126H5230H4191 19They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer.H559H376H251H1976H1167H2472H935 20Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams."H3212H2026H7993H259H953H559H7451H2416H398H7200H2472 21But when Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying, "Let us not take his life."H7205H8085H5337H3027H559H5221H5315 22And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him"—that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.H7205H559H8210H1818H7993H953H4057H7971H3027H5337H3027H7725H1H7725 23So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, the robe of many colors that he wore.H3130H935H251H6584H853H3130H854H3801H3801H6446 24And they took him and threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.H3947H7993H953H953H7386H4325 25Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt.H3427H398H3899H5375H5869H7200H736H3459H935H1568H1581H5375H5219H6875H3910H1980H3381H4714 26Then Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?H3063H559H251H1215H2026H251H3680H1818 27Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers listened to him.H3212H4376H3459H3027H251H1320H251H8085 28Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.H5674H4084H582H5503H4900H5927H3130H953H4376H3130H3459H6242H3701H935H3130H4714 29When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothesH7205H7725H953H3130H953H7167H899 30and returned to his brothers and said, "The boy is gone, and I, where shall I go?"H7725H251H559H3206H575H935 31Then they took Joseph's robe and slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.H3947H3130H3801H7819H8163H5795H2881H3801H1818 32And they sent the robe of many colors and brought it to their father and said, "This we have found; please identify whether it is your son's robe or not."H7971H3801H6446H935H1H559H4672H5234H1121H3801 33And he identified it and said, "It is my son's robe. A fierce animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces."H5234H559H1121H3801H7451H2416H398H3130H2963H2963 34Then Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days.H3290H7167H8071H7760H8242H4975H56H1121H7227H3117 35All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and said, "No, I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning." Thus his father wept for him.H1121H1323H6965H5162H3985H5162H559H3381H7585H1121H57H1H1058 36Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.H4092H4376H4714H6318H5631H6547H8269H2876
