Genesis 37:3-13

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

New International Version NIV

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colours.

3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him.

4 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.

4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.

5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren; and they hated him yet the more.

5 Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.

6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had:

7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about and made obeisance to my sheaf.

7 We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”

8 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.

8 His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.

9 And he dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brethren, saying, Behold, I have dreamed another dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me.

9 Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

10 And he told it to his father and to his brethren; and his father reprehended 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?

10 When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”

11 And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the word.

11 His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

12 And his brethren went to feed their father’s sheep in Shechem.

12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem,

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the sheep in Shechem? Come and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.

13 and Israel said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I am going to send you to them.” “Very well,” he replied.
