2. This is the genealogy of Ya‛aqoḇ. Yosĕph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the young man was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Yosĕph brought an evil report of them to his father.
3. And Yisra’ĕl loved Yosĕph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a long robe.
4. But 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.
5. And Yosĕph dreamed a dream, and told it to his brothers. So they hated him even more.
