And he brought vnto their father an euyll saynge yt was of them. 3 And Israel loued Ioseph more than all his childern because he begat hym in his olde age and he made him a coote of many coloures. 4 When his brothren sawe that their father loued him more than all his brethern they hated him and coude not speke one kynde worde vnto him. 5 Moreouer Ioseph dreamed a dreawe and tolde it his brethren: wherfore they hated him yet the more. 6 And he sayde vnto them heare I praye yow this dreame which I haue dreamed: 7 Beholde we were makynge sheues in the felde: and loo my shefe arose and stode vpright and youres stode rounde aboute and made obeysaunce to my shefe. 8 Than sayde his brethren vnto him: what shalt thou be oure kynge or shalt thou reigne ouer us?
