Genesis37
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2/These are the gen erations of Jaco. Joseph, being sevnteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethen,;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.
3/now Israel loved Josrph more then all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
4/And when his brethren saw thet their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5/and Joseph de\reamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6/And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you this dream which I have dreames:
7/For ,behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and ,Lo my sheaf arose, and also stood upright: and , dehold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to ay sheaf.
8/and his brethern said to him,shalt thou indeed regn over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? or shalt thou nindeed have dominion over us? and they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9/and he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethen, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and ,behokd, the the eleven stars masde obeiosance to me.
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 thet thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethen indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11/And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the daying.
12/And his brethen wrnt to feed their father `s fiock in shechem.
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.
14/And he said to him. go I prey thee, see whether it be well with thy brethen; and bring me word acain. so he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15/And a certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16/and he said, I seek my brethren: tell me,I pray thee, where they feed their flocks, 17/and the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothen,And Joseph went after his brethen, and found them in Dothan.
18/And when they saw him arar orr, even before he came near unto them, rhey conspired against him to slay him.
19/and they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20/come now therefore , and let us slsy 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.
21/and Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
22/And Reuben said unto them, Shed on blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no bhand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to daliver him to his father again
23/And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of many colour that was on him;
24/and they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
25/And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifred up their eyes and looked, and ,behold, a company of Ishmelires camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26/And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
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 fiesh, and his brethren were content.
28/Then there passd by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelies for :Land they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29/and Reuben returned unto the pit; and ,behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes>
30/and he returned unto his brethren, and said, the child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
31/And they took Josph`s coat, and killed a kid of the goate , and dipped the coat in the blood;
32/And they sent the coat the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we foud: know now whether it be thy son`s coat or on.
33/And he knew it, and said, It is my son`s coat; an evil beast hath davoured him; Joseoh is withoiut doubt rent in pieces.
34/And Jacob rent his cpothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days,
35/And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be but he refused to be comforted; and he said, for I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning, thus hia father wept for him.
36/and the Midanites sold him into Egypt inmto potiphher, an officer of pharaohar, an officer of pharaoh`s and caotain of the guard,
