Chapter 37

1 And Jacob dwelt in the land of his father's sojourn, in the land of Canaan.

2 This is the life of James. And Joseph, seventeen years old, tended his cattle with his brethren as a lad, and with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah his father's wives. And Joseph brought evil rumors about them to their father.

3 And Israel loved Joseph more than all their sons, because he was the son of his old age, and made him a garment of many colors.

4 And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; and they hated him, and could not speak to him in a friendly manner.

5 And Joseph saw a dream, and told it to his brethren, and they hated him all the more.

6 And he said unto them, Hear the dream which I have had, saying,

7 Behold, we bind sheaves in the midst of the field; And behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright; And behold, your sheaves stood round and bowed down to my sheaf.
