1 And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2 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 to his father their evil report.
3 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] colors.
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
