Genesis 37:2-4

English Standard Version

² These are the generations of Jacob.

Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought ^(A)a bad report of them to their father. ³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was ^(B)the son of his old age. And he made him ^(C)a robe of many colors.^{[a] 4} But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.
