    1Now Jacob was living in the land where his father had made a place for himself, in the land of Canaan.

    2These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a boy seventeen years old, was looking after the flock, together with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph gave their father a bad account of them.

    3Now the love which Israel had for Joseph was greater than his love for all his other children, because he got him when he was an old man: and he had a long coat made for him.

    4And because his brothers saw that Joseph was dearer to his father than all the others, they were full of hate for him, and would not say a kind word to him.

    5Now Joseph had a dream, and he gave his brothers an account of it, which made their hate greater than ever.

    6And he said to them, Let me give you the story of my dream.

    7We were in the field, getting the grain stems together, and my grain kept upright, and yours came round and went down on the earth before mine.

    8And his brothers said to him, Are you to be our king? will you have authority over us? And because of his dream and his words, their hate for him became greater than ever.

    9Then he had another dream, and gave his brothers an account of it, saying, I have had another dream: the sun and the moon and eleven stars gave honour to me.

    10And he gave word of it to his father and his brothers; but his father protesting said, What sort of a dream is this? am I and your mother and your brothers to go down on our faces to the earth before you?

    18But they saw him when he was a long way off, and before he came near them they made a secret design against him to put him to death;

    19Saying to one another, See, here comes this dreamer.
