circumcised, as
they are
circumcised.

the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are
circumcised as
they are.
Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.

their livestock,
their possessions, and all
their animals become ours? Only let us consent to
them, and
they will dwell among us.”

stink among
the inhabitants of
the land, among
the Canaanites and
the Perizzites: and I being few in number,
they shall gather
themselves together against me, and
slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Then Jacob said to
Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a
stench to
the Canaanites and

the people of this land. We are few in number; if
they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”

there. Build an altar
there to

the land of
Canaan; and went into
the country from
the face of his brother Jacob.
Later,
Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all
the people of his household, along with his
livestock, all his other animals, and all
the property he had acquired in
Canaan, and he moved to a land far away from his brother Jacob.
For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
For
their possessions were too great for
them to dwell together;
the land where
they stayed could not support
them because of
their livestock.

And Jacob dwelt in
the land wherein his father was a stranger, in
the land of
Canaan.
Now Jacob lived in
the land where his father had resided,

Canaan.
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?
