² This is the account^(A) of Jacob’s family line.

Joseph,^(B) a young man of seventeen,^(C) was tending the flocks^(D) with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah^(E) and the sons of Zilpah,^(F) his father’s wives, and he brought their father a bad report^(G) about them.

³ Now Israel^(H) loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,^(I) because he had been born to him in his old age;^(J) and he made an ornate^[a] robe^(K) for him.^{(L) 4} When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him^(M) and could not speak a kind word to him.
