01:037:004 And when his brethren saw that their father
loved him more
than
all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak
peaceably
unto him.
01:037:005 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told
it his brethren: and
they
hated him yet the more.
01:037:006 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you,
this dream which I
have
dreamed:
01:037:007 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in
the field, and, lo, my
sheaf
arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves
stood
round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
01:037:008 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou
indeed reign over us?
or
shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they
hated him
yet
the more for his dreams, and for his words.
01:037:009 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told
it his brethren,
and
said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold,
the
sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance
to
me.
01:037:010 And he told it to his father, and to his
brethren: and his
father
rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream
that
thou
hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren
indeed
come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
01:037:011 And his brethren envied him; but his father
observed the
saying.
01:037:012 And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
01:037:013 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy
brethren feed the
flock
in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them.
And he
said
to him, Here am I.
01:037:014 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see
whether it be well
with
thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me
word
again.
So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came
to
Shechem.
01:037:015 And a certain man found him, and, behold,
he was wandering in
the
field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest
thou?
01:037:016 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell
me, I pray thee, where
they
feed their flocks.
01:037:017 And the man said, They are departed hence;
for I heard them
say,
Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his
brethren,
and
found them in Dothan.
01:037:018 And when they saw him afar off, even before
he came near unto
them,
they conspired against him to slay him.
01:037:019 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
01:037:020 Come now therefore, and let us slay him,
and cast him into
some
pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured
him:
and
we shall see what will become of his dreams.
