Yoseph Is Loved Of Yacob, But Hated By His Brethren

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:1

 ?  And Yacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:2

These are the generations of Yacob. Yoseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Yoseph brought unto his father their evil report.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:3

Now Yisrael loved Yoseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:4

And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak shalom unto him.

Yoseph's Dreams

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:5

 ?  And Yoseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:6

And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:7

For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:8

And his brethren said to him, Shall you indeed reign over us? or shall you indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:9

And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:10

And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth?

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:11

And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.

Yacob Sends Yoseph To Visit His Brethren, They Conspire His Death

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:12

 ?  And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:13

And Yisrael said unto Yoseph, Do not your brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send you unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:14

And he said to him, Go, I pray you, see whether their be shalom with your brethren, and shalom with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:15

And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest you?

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:16

And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray you, where they feed their flocks.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:17

And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Yoseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:18

And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:19

And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:20

Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:21

And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:22

And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.

Yoseph's Brethren Sell Him

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:23

 ?  And it came to pass, when Yoseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Yoseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:24

And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:25

And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:26

And Yahudah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:27

Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:28

Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Yoseph out of the pit, and sold Yoseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Yoseph into Egypt.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:29

And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Yoseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:30

And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?

Yacob Deceived, Yoseph Sold To Potiphar

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:31

 ?  And they took Yoseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:32

And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be your son's coat or no.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:33

And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Yoseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:34

And Yacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:35

And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.

BERESHITH - GENESIS 37:36

And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
