This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.
037:001 Jacob lived in the land of his father's travels, in the land of Canaan. 037:002 This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father. 037:003 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors. 037:004 His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak peaceably to him. 037:005 Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more. 037:006 He said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: 037:007 for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf." 037:008 His brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?" They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words. 037:009 He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me." 037:010 He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?" |
