This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.

3

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic of many colors.

4

His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn’t speak peaceably to him.
