These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, 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 Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
This is the account of Jacob. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers, the sons of his father’s wives
Bilhah and Zilpah,
and he brought their father a bad report about them.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him in his old age; so he made him a
robe of many colors.
And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they
hated him,
and could not speak
peaceably unto him.
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they
hated him
and could not speak a kind word to him.
And Joseph dreamed a dream,
and he told it his brethren:
and they
hated him yet the more.
Then Joseph had a dream,
and when he told it to his brothers, they
hated him even more.
And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
He said to them, “
Listen to this dream I had:
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.
We were binding
sheaves of grain in the field,
and suddenly my
sheaf rose
and stood upright, while your
sheaves gathered around
and bowed down to mine.”
And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?
And they
hated him yet the more for his dreams,
and for his words.
“Do you intend to reign over us?” his brothers asked. “Will you actually rule us?” So they
hated him even more because of his dream
and his statements.
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.
Then Joseph had another dream and told it to his brothers. “Look,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
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 thou hast dreamed? Shall I
and thy mother
and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
He told his father
and brothers, but his father
rebuked him
and said, “What is this dream that you have had? Will your mother
and brothers
and I actually come
and bow down to the ground before you?”
And his brethren
envied him; but his father observed the saying.
And his brothers were
jealous of him, but his father kept in mind what he had said.
And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in
Shechem.
Some time later, Joseph’s brothers had gone to pasture their father’s flocks near
Shechem.
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in
Shechem? come,
and I will send thee unto them.
And he said to him, Here am I.
Israel said to him, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flocks at
Shechem? Get ready; I am sending you to them.” “I am ready,” Joseph replied.
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren,
and well with the flocks;
and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the
vale of
Hebron,
and he came to
Shechem.
Then Israel told him, “Go now
and see how your brothers
and the flocks are faring,
and bring word back to me.” So he sent him off from the Valley of
Hebron.
And when Joseph arrived in
Shechem,
And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
a man found him wandering in the field and asked, “What are you looking for?”
And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
“I am looking for my brothers,” Joseph replied. “Can you please tell me where they are pasturing their flocks?”
And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
“They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph set out after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
And when they saw him
afar off, even before he came near unto them, they
conspired against him to
slay him.
Now Joseph’s brothers saw him in the distance,
and before he arrived, they
plotted to kill him.
And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to one another.
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.
“Come now, let us kill him
and throw him into one of the pits. We can say that a
vicious animal has
devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams!”
And Reuben heard it,
and he delivered him out of their hands;
and said, Let us not kill him.
When
Reuben heard this, he tried to
rescue Joseph from their hands. “Let us not take his life,” he said.
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.
“Do not shed his blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him.”
Reuben said this so that he could
rescue Joseph from their hands
and return him to his father.
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
So when Joseph came to his brothers, they
stripped him of his
robe—the
robe of many colors he was wearing—
And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
and they took him and threw him into the pit. Now the pit was empty, with no water in it.
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.
And as they sat down to eat a meal, they looked up
and saw a
caravan of
Ishmaelites coming from
Gilead. Their camels were carrying spices,
balm,
and myrrh on their way down to Egypt.
And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we
slay our brother,
and conceal his blood?
Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
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.
Come, let us sell him to the
Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him; for he is our brother, our own flesh.”
And they agreed.
Then there passed by Midianites
merchantmen;
and they drew
and lifted up Joseph out of the pit,
and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver:
and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit
and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the
Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
And Reuben returned unto the pit;
and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit;
and he rent his clothes.
When
Reuben returned to the pit
and saw that Joseph was not there, he
tore his clothes,
And he returned unto his brethren,
and said, The child is not;
and I,
whither shall I go?
returned to his brothers, and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”
And they took Joseph’s coat,
and killed a
kid of the goats,
and dipped the coat in the blood;
Then they took Joseph’s
robe, slaughtered a young goat,
and dipped the
robe in its blood.
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 thy son’s coat or no.
They sent the
robe of many colors to their father
and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s
robe or not.”
And he knew it,
and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath
devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
His father recognized it
and said, “It is my son’s
robe! A
vicious animal has
devoured him. Joseph has surely been
torn to pieces!”
And Jacob rent his clothes,
and put
sackcloth upon his loins,
and mourned for his son many days.
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.
All his sons
and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said. “I will go down to
Sheol mourning for my son.” So his father
wept for him.
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
About that time, Judah left his brothers and settled near a man named Hirah, an Adullamite.
And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain
Canaanite, whose name was Shuah;
and he took her,
and went in unto her.
There Judah saw the daughter of a
Canaanite man named Shua,
and he took her as a wife
and slept with her.
And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
So she conceived and gave birth to a son, and Judah named him Er.
And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
Again she conceived and gave birth to a son, and she named him Onan.
And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
Then she gave birth to another son and named him Shelah; it was at Chezib that she gave birth to him.
And Judah took a wife for Er his
firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
Now Judah acquired a wife for Er, his
firstborn,
and her name was Tamar.
And Er, Judah’s
firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD;
and the LORD
slew him.
But Er, Judah’s
firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; so the LORD put him to death.
And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother’s wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife. Perform your duty as her brother-in-law and raise up offspring for your brother.”
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his;
and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he
spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
But Onan knew that the offspring would not belong to him; so whenever he would sleep with his brother’s wife, he would
spill his seed on the ground so that he would not produce offspring for his brother.
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he
slew him also.
What he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, so He put Onan to death as well.
Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father’s house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest
peradventure he die also, as his brethren did.
And Tamar went
and dwelt in her father’s house.
Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Live as a widow in your father’s house until my son Shelah grows up.” For he thought, “He may die too, like his brothers.” So Tamar went to live in her father’s house.
And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah’s wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
After a long time Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. When Judah had finished
mourning, he
and his friend Hirah the Adullamite went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah.
And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to
shear his sheep.
When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to
shear his sheep,”
And she put her widow’s garments off from her,
and covered her with a
vail,
and wrapped herself,
and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown,
and she was not given unto him to wife.
she removed her widow’s garments, covered her face with a
veil to
disguise herself,
and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the way to Timnah. For she saw that although Shelah had grown up, she had not been given to him as a wife.
And he turned unto her by the way,
and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.)
And she said, What
wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
Not
realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her
and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “What will you give me for sleeping with you?” she inquired.
And he said, I will send thee a
kid from the flock.
And she said,
Wilt thou give me a
pledge, till thou send it?
“I will send you a young goat from my flock,” Judah answered. But she replied, “Only if you leave me something as a
pledge until you send it.”
And he said, What
pledge shall I give thee?
And she said, Thy
signet,
and thy bracelets,
and thy staff that is in thine hand.
And he gave it her,
and came in unto her,
and she conceived by him.
“What
pledge should I give you?” he asked. She answered, “Your seal
and your cord,
and the staff in your hand.” So he gave them to her
and slept with her,
and she became
pregnant by him.
And she arose,
and went away,
and laid by her
vail from her,
and put on the garments of her
widowhood.
Then Tamar got up
and departed.
And she removed her
veil and put on her widow’s garments again.
