2. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers. Now he was a helper with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
3. Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, for he was a son of his old age. And he made a robe with long sleeves for him.
4. When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him.
