1 Now Jacob dwelled in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
2 These are the genealogies of Jacob. When Joseph was 17 years old (he was a youth), he was shepherding the flocks with his brothers—with the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah and Zilpah. Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons because he was the son of his old age. So he had made him a long-sleeved tunic.
4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak to him in shalom.
