The Generations of Jacob

37 Now Jacob lived in ^(A)the land ^[a]where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan. ² These are the generations of Jacob.

Joseph, when ^(B)seventeen years of age, was pasturing the flock with his brothers while he was still a youth, along with ^(C)the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought back an ^(D)evil report about them to their father. ³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was ^(E)the son of his old age; and he made him a ^[b](F)varicolored tunic. ⁴ And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and so they ^(G)hated him and could not speak to him in peace.
