1 And Jacob settled in the land of the sojourning of his father, in the land of Canaan.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers. Now he was a helper with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, for he was a son of his old age. And he made a robe with long sleeves for him.
4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him.
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers. And they hated him even more.
