Genesis 37

2 Joseph is hated of his brethren. 5 His two dreams. 13 Jacob sendeth him to visit his brethren. 18 His brethren conspire his death. 21 Reuben saveth him. 26 They sell him to the Ishmeelites. 31 His father, deceived by the bloody coat, mourneth for him. 36 He is sold to Potiphar in Egypt.

 37:1 ¶ And Jacob 3290 dwelt 3427 z8799 in the land 776 wherein his father 1 was a stranger, 4033 in the land 776 of Canaan. 3667

 37:2 These x428 [are] the generations 8435 of Jacob. 3290 Joseph, 3130 [being] seventeen 6240 7651 years 8141 old, 1121 was x1961 feeding 7462 z8802 the flock 6629 with x854 his brethren; 251 and the lad 5288 [was] with x854 the sons 1121 of Bilhah, 1090 and with x854 the sons 1121 of Zilpah, 2153 his father's 1 wives: 802 and Joseph 3130 brought 935 z8686 unto x413 his father 1 their x853 evil 7451 report. 1681

 37:3 Now Israel 3478 loved 157 z8804 x853 Joseph 3130 more than all x4480 x3605 his children, 1121 because x3588 he x1931 [was] the son 1121 of his old age: 2208 and he made 6213 z8804 him a coat 3801 of [many] colours. 6446

 37:4 And when his brethren 251 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 their father 1 loved 157 z8804 him more than all x4480 x3605 his brethren, 251 they hated 8130 z8799 him, and could 3201 z8804 not x3808 speak 1696 z8763 peaceably 7965 unto him.

 37:5 ¶ And Joseph 3130 dreamed 2492 z8799 a dream, 2472 and he told 5046 z8686 [it] his brethren: 251 and they hated 8130 z8800 him yet x5750 the more. 3254 z8686

 37:6 And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Hear, 8085 z8798 I pray you, x4994 this x2088 dream 2472 which x834 I have dreamed: 2492 z8804

 37:7 For, behold, x2009 we x587 [were] binding 481 z8764 y8432 sheaves 485 in x8432 the field, 7704 and, lo, x2009 my sheaf 485 arose, 6965 z8804 and also x1571 stood upright; 5324 z8738 and, behold, x2009 your sheaves 485 stood round about, 5437 z8799 and made obeisance 7812 z8691 to my sheaf. 485

 37:8 And his brethren 251 said 559 z8799 to him, Shalt thou indeed y4427 z8800 reign 4427 z8799 over x5921 us? or x518 shalt thou indeed y4910 z8800 have dominion 4910 z8799 over us? And they hated 8130 z8800 him yet x5750 the more 3254 z8686 for x5921 his dreams, 2472 and for x5921 his words. 1697

 37:9 ¶ And he dreamed 2492 z8799 yet x5750 another 312 dream, 2472 and told 5608 z8762 it his brethren, 251 and said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 I have dreamed 2492 z8804 a dream 2472 more; x5750 and, behold, x2009 the sun 8121 and the moon 3394 and the eleven 6240 259 stars 3556 made obeisance 7812 z8693 to me.

 37:10 And he told 5608 z8762 [it] to x413 his father, 1 and to x413 his brethren: 251 and his father 1 rebuked 1605 z8799 him, and said 559 z8799 unto him, What x4100 [is] this x2088 dream 2472 that x834 thou hast dreamed? 2492 z8804 Shall I x589 and thy mother 517 and thy brethren 251 indeed y935 z8800 come 935 z8799 to bow down y7812 z8692 ourselves x7812 to thee to the earth? 776

 37:11 And his brethren 251 envied 7065 z8762 him; but his father 1 observed 8104 z8804 x853 the saying. 1697

 37:12 ¶ And his brethren 251 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to feed 7462 z8800 x853 their father's 1 flock 6629 in Shechem. 7927

 37:13 And Israel 3478 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Joseph, 3130 Do not x3808 thy brethren 251 feed 7462 z8802 [the flock] in Shechem? 7927 come, y3212 z8798 x1980 and I will send x7971 thee y7971 z8799 unto x413 them. And he said 559 z8799 to him, Here x2009 [am I].

 37:14 And he said 559 z8799 to him, Go, y3212 z8798 x1980 I pray thee, x4994 see 7200 z8798 whether x853 it be well 7965 with thy brethren, 251 and well 7965 with the flocks; 6629 and bring 7725 z0 me word 1697 again. y7725 z8685 So he sent 7971 z8799 him out of the vale 6010 x4480 of Hebron, 2275 and he came 935 z8799 to Shechem. 7927

 37:15 ¶ And a certain man 376 found x4672 him, y4672 z8799 and, behold, x2009 [he was] wandering 8582 z8802 in the field: 7704 and the man 376 asked x7592 him, y7592 z8799 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 seekest 1245 z8762 thou?

 37:16 And he said, 559 z8799 I x595 seek 1245 z8764 x853 my brethren: 251 tell 5046 z8685 me, I pray thee, x4994 where 375 they x1992 feed 7462 z8802 [their flocks].

 37:17 And the man 376 said, 559 z8799 They are departed 5265 z8804 hence; 2088 x4480 for x3588 I heard 8085 z8804 them say, 559 z8802 Let us go y3212 z8799 x1980 to Dothan. 1886 And Joseph 3130 went y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 his brethren, 251 and found 4672 z8799 them in Dothan. 1886

 37:18 And when they saw 7200 z8799 him afar off, 7350 x4480 even before x2962 he came near 7126 z8799 unto x413 them, they conspired 5230 z8691 against him to slay 4191 z8687 him.

 37:19 And they said 559 z8799 one 376 to x413 another, 251 Behold, x2009 this 1976 dreamer 1167 2472 cometh. 935 z8802

 37:20 Come y3212 z8798 x1980 now x6258 therefore, and let us slay 2026 z8799 him, and cast 7993 z8686 him into some 259 pit, 953 and we will say, 559 z8804 Some evil 7451 beast 2416 hath devoured 398 z8804 him: and we shall see 7200 z8799 what x4100 will become x1961 of his dreams. 2472

 37:21 And Reuben 7205 heard 8085 z8799 [it], and he delivered 5337 z8686 him out of their hands; 3027 x4480 and said, 559 z8799 Let us not x3808 kill 5221 z8686 y5315 him.

 37:22 And Reuben 7205 said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Shed 8210 z8799 no x408 blood, 1818 [but] cast 7993 z8685 him into x413 this x2088 pit 953 that x834 [is] in the wilderness, 4057 and lay 7971 z8799 no x408 hand 3027 upon him; that x4616 he might rid 5337 z8687 him out of their hands, 3027 x4480 to deliver 7725 z0 him to x413 his father 1 again. y7725 z8687

 37:23 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 when x834 Joseph 3130 was come 935 z8804 unto x413 his brethren, 251 that they stript 6584 853 z8686 Joseph 3130 out of y854 x853 his coat, 3801 [his] x853 coat 3801 of [many] colours 6446 that x834 [was] on x5921 him;

 37:24 And they took 3947 z8799 him, and cast 7993 z8686 him into a pit: 953 and the pit 953 [was] empty, 7386 [there was] no x369 water 4325 in it.

 37:25 And they sat down 3427 z8799 to eat 398 z8800 bread: 3899 and they lifted up 5375 z8799 their eyes 5869 and looked, 7200 z8799 and, behold, x2009 a company 736 of Ishmeelites 3459 came 935 z8802 from Gilead 1568 x4480 with their camels 1581 bearing 5375 z8802 spicery 5219 and balm 6875 and myrrh, 3910 going 1980 z8802 to carry [it] down 3381 z8687 to Egypt. 4714

 37:26 And Judah 3063 said 559 z8799 unto x413 his brethren, 251 What x4100 profit 1215 [is it] if x3588 we slay 2026 z8799 x853 our brother, 251 and conceal 3680 z8765 x853 his blood? 1818

 37:27 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 and let us sell 4376 z8799 him to the Ishmeelites, 3459 and let not x408 our hand 3027 be x1961 upon him; for x3588 he x1931 [is] our brother 251 [and] our flesh. 1320 And his brethren 251 were content. 8085 z8799

 37:28 Then there passed y5674 z8799 by x5674 Midianites 4084 x376 merchantmen; 5503 y582 z8802 and they drew 4900 z8799 and lifted up 5927 z8686 x853 Joseph 3130 out of x4480 the pit, 953 and sold 4376 z8799 x853 Joseph 3130 to the Ishmeelites 3459 for twenty 6242 [pieces] of silver: 3701 and they brought 935 z8686 x853 Joseph 3130 into Egypt. 4714

 37:29 ¶ And Reuben 7205 returned 7725 z8799 unto x413 the pit; 953 and, behold, x2009 Joseph 3130 [was] not x369 in the pit; 953 and he rent 7167 z8799 x853 his clothes. 899

 37:30 And he returned 7725 z8799 unto x413 his brethren, 251 and said, 559 z8799 The child 3206 [is] not; x369 and I, x589 whither 575 shall I x589 go? 935 z8802

 37:31 And they took 3947 z8799 x853 Joseph's 3130 coat, 3801 and killed 7819 z8799 a kid 8163 of the goats, 5795 and dipped 2881 z8799 x853 the coat 3801 in the blood; 1818

 37:32 And they sent 7971 z8762 x853 the coat 3801 of [many] colours, 6446 and they brought 935 z8686 [it] to x413 their father; 1 and said, 559 z8799 This x2063 have we found: 4672 z8804 know 5234 z8685 now x4994 whether it x1931 [be] thy son's 1121 coat 3801 or x518 no. x3808

 37:33 And he knew x5234 it, y5234 z8686 and said, 559 z8799 [It is] my son's 1121 coat; 3801 an evil 7451 beast 2416 hath devoured 398 z8804 him; Joseph 3130 is without doubt y2963 z8800 rent in pieces. 2963 z8776

 37:34 And Jacob 3290 rent 7167 z8799 his clothes, 8071 and put 7760 z8799 sackcloth 8242 upon his loins, 4975 and mourned 56 z8691 for x5921 his son 1121 many 7227 days. 3117

 37:35 And all x3605 his sons 1121 and all x3605 his daughters 1323 rose up 6965 z8799 to comfort 5162 z8763 him; but he refused 3985 z8762 to be comforted; 5162 z8692 and he said, 559 z8799 For x3588 I will go down 3381 z8799 into the grave 7585 unto x413 my son 1121 mourning. 57 Thus his father 1 wept 1058 z8799 for him.

 37:36 And the Midianites 4092 sold 4376 z8804 him into x413 Egypt 4714 unto Potiphar, 6318 an officer 5631 of Pharaoh's, 6547 [and] captain 8269 of the guard. 2876
