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 flocks].
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 stripped 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 Ishmeelites
came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and
myrrh, 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 mourned 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 Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar,
an officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.
