Chapter 37
And
Iacob
dwelt
in
the
land
wherein
his
father
was
a
stranger,
in
the
land
of
Canaan.
2
These
are
the
generations
of
Iacob:
Ioseph
being
seuenteene
yeeres
old,
was
feeding
the
flocke
with
his
brethren,
and
the
lad
was
with
the
sonnes
of
Bilhah,
and
with
the
sonnes
of
Zilpah,
his
fathers
wiues:
and
Ioseph
brought
vnto
his
father
their
euill
report.
3
Now
Israel
loued
Ioseph
more
then
all
his
children,
because
he
was
the
sonne
of
his
old
age:
and
he
made
him
a
coat
of
many
colours.
4
And
when
his
brethren
saw
that
their
father
loued
him
more
then
all
his
brethren,
they
hated
him,
and
could
not
speake
peaceably
vnto
him.
5
And
Ioseph
dreamed
a
dreame,
and
he
told
it
his
brethren,
and
they
hated
him
yet
the
more.
6
And
he
said
vnto
them,
Heare,
I
pray
you,
this
dreame
which
I
haue
dreamed.
7
For
beholde,
wee
were
binding
sheaues
in
the
field,
and
loe,
my
sheafe
arose,
and
also
stood
vpright;
and
behold,
your
sheaues
stood
round
about,
and
made
obeisance
to
my
sheafe.
8
And
his
brethren
saide
to
him,
Shalt
thou
indeed
reigne
ouer
vs?
or
shalt
thou
indeed
haue
dominion
ouer
vs?
and
they
hated
him
yet
the
more,
for
his
dreames,
and
for
his
words.
9
And
hee
dreamed
yet
another
dreame,
and
told
it
his
brethren,
and
said,
Behold,
I
haue
dreamed
a
dreame
more:
and
behold,
the
sunne
and
the
moone,
and
the
eleuen
starres
made
obeisance
to
me.
10
And
he
told
it
to
his
father,
and
to
his
brethren:
and
his
father
rebuked
him,
and
said
vnto
him,
What
is
this
dreame
that
thou
hast
dreamed?
shal
I,
and
thy
mother,
and
thy
brethren
indeed
come
to
bow
downe
our
selues
to
thee,
to
the
earth?
11
And
his
brethren
enuied
him:
but
his
father
obserued
the
saying.
12
And
his
brethren
went
to
feed
their
fathers
flocke
in
Shechem.
13
And
Israel
saide
vnto
Ioseph,
Doe
not
thy
brethren
feed
the
flocke
in
Shechem?
Come,
and
I
will
send
thee
vnto
them:
&
he
said
to
him,
Here
am
I.
14
And
he
said
to
him,
Goe,
I
pray
thee,
see
whether
it
bee
well
with
thy
brethren,
and
well
with
the
flockes,
and
bring
me
word
againe:
so
hee
sent
him
out
of
the
vale
of
Hebron,
and
he
came
to
Shechem.
15
And
a
certaine
man
found
him,
and
behold,
hee
was
wandring
in
the
field,
and
the
man
asked
him,
saying,
What
seekest
thou?
16
And
he
said,
I
seeke
my
brethren:
tell
me,
I
pray
thee,
where
they
feede
their
flockes.
17
And
the
man
said,
They
are
departed
hence:
for
I
heard
them
say,
Let
vs
goe
to
Dothan.
And
Ioseph
went
after
his
brethren,
and
found
them
in
Dothan.
18
And
when
they
saw
him
a
farre
off,
euen
before
he
came
neere
vnto
them,
they
conspired
against
him,
to
slay
him.
19
And
they
said
one
to
another,
Behold,
this
dreamer
commeth.
20
Come
now
therefore,
and
let
vs
slay
him,
and
cast
him
into
some
pit,
and
we
will
say,
Some
euill
beast
hath
deuoured
him:
and
we
shall
see
what
will
become
of
his
dreames.
21
And
Reuben
heard
it,
and
he
deliuered
him
out
of
their
hands,
and
said;
Let
vs
not
kill
him.
22
And
Reuben
saide
vnto
them,
Shed
no
blood,
but
cast
him
into
this
pit
that
is
in
the
wildernesse,
and
lay
no
hand
vpon
him;
that
he
might
rid
him
out
of
their
hands,
to
deliuer
him
to
his
father
againe.
23
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Ioseph
was
come
vnto
his
brethren,
that
they
stript
Ioseph
out
of
his
coate,
his
coat
of
many
colours
that
was
on
him.
24
And
they
tooke
him
and
cast
him
into
a
pit:
and
the
pit
was
emptie,
there
was
no
water
in
it.
25
And
they
sate
downe
to
eat
bread:
and
they
lift
vp
their
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
company
of
Ishmeelites
came
from
Gilead,
with
their
camels,
bearing
spicery,
&
baulme,
and
myrrhe,
going
to
cary
it
downe
to
Egypt.
26
And
Iudah
saide
vnto
his
brethren,
What
profit
is
it
if
we
slay
our
brother,
and
conceale
his
blood?
27
Come,
and
let
vs
sell
him
to
the
Ishmeelites,
and
let
not
our
hand
bee
vpon
him:
for
he
is
our
brother,
and
our
flesh;
and
his
brethren
were
content.
28
Then
there
passed
by
Midianites
merchant
men,
and
they
drew
and
lift
vp
Ioseph
out
of
the
pit,
and
sold
Ioseph
to
the
Ishmeelites
for
twentie
pieces
of
siluer:
and
they
brought
Ioseph
into
Egypt.
29
And
Reuben
returned
vnto
the
pit,
and
behold,
Ioseph
was
not
in
the
pit:
and
he
rent
his
clothes.
30
And
hee
returned
vnto
his
brethren
and
said,
The
childe
is
not,
and
I,
whither
shall
I
goe?
31
And
they
tooke
Iosephs
coat,
and
killed
a
kid
of
the
goats,
and
dipped
the
coat
in
the
blood.
32
And
they
sent
the
coat
of
many
colours,
and
they
brought
it
to
their
father,
and
said,
This
haue
we
found:
know
now
whether
it
bee
thy
sonnes
coat
or
no.
33
And
he
knew
it,
and
said,
It
is
my
sonnes
coat:
an
euil
beast
hath
deuoured
him;
Ioseph
is
without
doubt
rent
in
pieces.
34
And
Iacob
rent
his
clothes,
and
put
sackcloth
vpon
his
loines,
&
mourned
for
his
sonne
many
dayes.
35
And
all
his
sonnes,
and
all
his
daughters
rose
vp
to
comfort
him:
but
he
refused
to
be
comforted:
and
he
said,
For
I
will
goe
downe
into
the
graue
vnto
my
sonne,
mourning;
thus
his
father
wept
for
him.
36
And
the
Medanites
sold
him
into
Egypt
vnto
Potiphar,
an
officer
of
Pharaohs,
and
captaine
of
the
guard.
