Genesis 37

2 Joseph is hated of his brethren. 5 His two dreams. 13 Jacob sendeth him to visit his brethren. 18 His brethren conspire his death. 21 Reuben saveth him. 26 They sell him to the Ishmeelites. 31 His father, deceived by the bloody coat, mourneth for him. 36 He is sold to Potiphar in Egypt.

 37:1 ¶ And Iacob 3290 dwelt 3427 z8799 in the land 776 wherein his father 1 was a stranger, 4033 in the land 776 of Canaan. 3667

 37:2 These x428 [are] the generations 8435 of Iacob: 3290 Ioseph 3130 being seuenteene 6240 7651 yeeres 8141 old, 1121 was x1961 feeding 7462 z8802 the flocke 6629 with x854 his brethren, 251 and the lad 5288 was with x854 the sonnes 1121 of Bilhah, 1090 and with x854 the sonnes 1121 of Zilpah, 2153 his fathers 1 wiues: 802 and Ioseph 3130 brought 935 z8686 vnto x413 his father 1 their x853 euill 7451 report. 1681

 37:3 Now Israel 3478 loued 157 z8804 x853 Ioseph 3130 more then all x4480 x3605 his children, 1121 because x3588 he x1931 was the sonne 1121 of his old age: 2208 and he made 6213 z8804 him a coat 3801 of many colours. 6446

 37:4 And when his brethren 251 saw 7200 z8799 that x3588 their father 1 loued 157 z8804 him more then all x4480 x3605 his brethren, 251 they hated 8130 z8799 him, and could 3201 z8804 not x3808 speake 1696 z8763 peaceably 7965 vnto him.

 37:5 ¶ And Ioseph 3130 dreamed 2492 z8799 a dreame, 2472 and he told 5046 z8686 it his brethren, 251 and they hated 8130 z8800 him yet x5750 the more. 3254 z8686

 37:6 And he said 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Heare, 8085 z8798 I pray you, x4994 this x2088 dreame 2472 which x834 I haue dreamed. 2492 z8804

 37:7 For beholde, x2009 wee x587 were binding 481 z8764 y8432 sheaues 485 in x8432 the field, 7704 and loe, x2009 my sheafe 485 arose, 6965 z8804 and also x1571 stood vpright; 5324 z8738 and behold, x2009 your sheaues 485 stood round about, 5437 z8799 and made obeisance 7812 z8691 to my sheafe. 485

 37:8 And his brethren 251 saide 559 z8799 to him, Shalt thou indeed y4427 z8800 reigne 4427 z8799 ouer x5921 vs? or x518 shalt thou indeed y4910 z8800 haue dominion 4910 z8799 ouer vs? and they hated 8130 z8800 him yet x5750 the more, 3254 z8686 for x5921 his dreames, 2472 and for x5921 his words. 1697

 37:9 ¶ And hee dreamed 2492 z8799 yet x5750 another 312 dreame, 2472 and told 5608 z8762 it his brethren, 251 and said, 559 z8799 Behold, x2009 I haue dreamed 2492 z8804 a dreame 2472 more: x5750 and behold, x2009 the sunne 8121 and the moone, 3394 and the eleuen 6240 259 starres 3556 made obeisance 7812 z8693 to me.

 37:10 And he told 5608 z8762 [it] to x413 his father, 1 and to x413 his brethren: 251 and his father 1 rebuked 1605 z8799 him, and said 559 z8799 vnto him, What x4100 [is] this x2088 dreame 2472 that x834 thou hast dreamed? 2492 z8804 shal I, x589 and thy mother, 517 and thy brethren 251 indeed y935 z8800 come 935 z8799 to bow downe y7812 z8692 our selues x7812 to thee, to the earth? 776

 37:11 And his brethren 251 enuied 7065 z8762 him: but his father 1 obserued 8104 z8804 x853 the saying. 1697

 37:12 ¶ And his brethren 251 went y3212 z8799 x1980 to feed 7462 z8800 x853 their fathers 1 flocke 6629 in Shechem. 7927

 37:13 And Israel 3478 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 Ioseph, 3130 Doe not x3808 thy brethren 251 feed 7462 z8802 the flocke in Shechem? 7927 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 and I will send x7971 thee y7971 z8799 vnto x413 them: & he said 559 z8799 to him, Here x2009 am I.

 37:14 And he said 559 z8799 to him, Goe, y3212 z8798 x1980 I pray thee, x4994 see 7200 z8798 whether x853 it bee well 7965 with thy brethren, 251 and well 7965 with the flockes, 6629 and bring 7725 z0 me word 1697 againe: y7725 z8685 so hee sent 7971 z8799 him out of the vale 6010 x4480 of Hebron, 2275 and he came 935 z8799 to Shechem. 7927

 37:15 ¶ And a certaine man 376 found x4672 him, y4672 z8799 and behold, x2009 hee was wandring 8582 z8802 in the field, 7704 and the man 376 asked x7592 him, y7592 z8799 saying, 559 z8800 What x4100 seekest 1245 z8762 thou?

 37:16 And he said, 559 z8799 I x595 seeke 1245 z8764 x853 my brethren: 251 tell 5046 z8685 me, I pray thee, x4994 where 375 they x1992 feede 7462 z8802 their [flockes].

 37:17 And the man 376 said, 559 z8799 They are departed 5265 z8804 hence: 2088 x4480 for x3588 I heard 8085 z8804 them say, 559 z8802 Let vs goe y3212 z8799 x1980 to Dothan. 1886 And Ioseph 3130 went y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 his brethren, 251 and found 4672 z8799 them in Dothan. 1886

 37:18 And when they saw 7200 z8799 him a farre off, 7350 x4480 euen before x2962 he came neere 7126 z8799 vnto x413 them, they conspired 5230 z8691 against him, to slay 4191 z8687 him.

 37:19 And they said 559 z8799 one 376 to x413 another, 251 Behold, x2009 this 1976 dreamer 1167 2472 commeth. 935 z8802

 37:20 Come y3212 z8798 x1980 now x6258 therefore, and let vs slay 2026 z8799 him, and cast 7993 z8686 him into some 259 pit, 953 and we will say, 559 z8804 Some euill 7451 beast 2416 hath deuoured 398 z8804 him: and we shall see 7200 z8799 what x4100 will become x1961 of his dreames. 2472

 37:21 And Reuben 7205 heard 8085 z8799 [it], and he deliuered 5337 z8686 him out of their hands, 3027 x4480 and said; 559 z8799 Let vs not x3808 kill 5221 z8686 y5315 him.

 37:22 And Reuben 7205 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 them, Shed 8210 z8799 no x408 blood, 1818 [but] cast 7993 z8685 him into x413 this x2088 pit 953 that x834 is in the wildernesse, 4057 and lay 7971 z8799 no x408 hand 3027 vpon him; that x4616 he might rid 5337 z8687 him out of their hands, 3027 x4480 to deliuer 7725 z0 him to x413 his father 1 againe. y7725 z8687

 37:23 ¶ And it came to passe x1961 when x834 Ioseph 3130 was come 935 z8804 vnto x413 his brethren, 251 that they stript 6584 853 z8686 Ioseph 3130 out of y854 x853 his coate, 3801 his x853 coat 3801 of many colours 6446 that x834 [was] on x5921 him.

 37:24 And they tooke 3947 z8799 him and cast 7993 z8686 him into a pit: 953 and the pit 953 [was] emptie, 7386 [there was] no x369 water 4325 in it.

 37:25 And they sate downe 3427 z8799 to eat 398 z8800 bread: 3899 and they lift vp 5375 z8799 their eyes 5869 and looked, 7200 z8799 and behold, x2009 a company 736 of Ishmeelites 3459 came 935 z8802 from Gilead, 1568 x4480 with their camels, 1581 bearing 5375 z8802 spicery, 5219 & baulme, 6875 and myrrhe, 3910 going 1980 z8802 to cary [it] downe 3381 z8687 to Egypt. 4714

 37:26 And Iudah 3063 saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 his brethren, 251 What x4100 profit 1215 [is it] if x3588 we slay 2026 z8799 x853 our brother, 251 and conceale 3680 z8765 x853 his blood? 1818

 37:27 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 and let vs sell 4376 z8799 him to the Ishmeelites, 3459 and let not x408 our hand 3027 bee x1961 vpon him: for x3588 he x1931 is our brother, 251 and [our] flesh; 1320 and his brethren 251 were content. 8085 z8799

 37:28 Then there passed y5674 z8799 by x5674 Midianites 4084 x376 merchant men, 5503 y582 z8802 and they drew 4900 z8799 and lift vp 5927 z8686 x853 Ioseph 3130 out of x4480 the pit, 953 and sold 4376 z8799 x853 Ioseph 3130 to the Ishmeelites 3459 for twentie 6242 [pieces] of siluer: 3701 and they brought 935 z8686 x853 Ioseph 3130 into Egypt. 4714

 37:29 ¶ And Reuben 7205 returned 7725 z8799 vnto x413 the pit, 953 and behold, x2009 Ioseph 3130 was not x369 in the pit: 953 and he rent 7167 z8799 x853 his clothes. 899

 37:30 And hee returned 7725 z8799 vnto x413 his brethren 251 and said, 559 z8799 The childe 3206 is not, x369 and I, x589 whither 575 shall I x589 goe? 935 z8802

 37:31 And they tooke 3947 z8799 x853 Iosephs 3130 coat, 3801 and killed 7819 z8799 a kid 8163 of the goats, 5795 and dipped 2881 z8799 x853 the coat 3801 in the blood. 1818

 37:32 And they sent 7971 z8762 x853 the coat 3801 of many colours, 6446 and they brought 935 z8686 it to x413 their father, 1 and said, 559 z8799 This x2063 haue we found: 4672 z8804 know 5234 z8685 now x4994 whether it x1931 bee thy sonnes 1121 coat 3801 or x518 no. x3808

 37:33 And he knew x5234 [it], y5234 z8686 and said, 559 z8799 It [is] my sonnes 1121 coat: 3801 an euil 7451 beast 2416 hath deuoured 398 z8804 him; Ioseph 3130 is without doubt y2963 z8800 rent in pieces. 2963 z8776

 37:34 And Iacob 3290 rent 7167 z8799 his clothes, 8071 and put 7760 z8799 sackcloth 8242 vpon his loines, 4975 & mourned 56 z8691 for x5921 his sonne 1121 many 7227 dayes. 3117

 37:35 And all x3605 his sonnes, 1121 and all x3605 his daughters 1323 rose vp 6965 z8799 to comfort 5162 z8763 him: but he refused 3985 z8762 to be comforted: 5162 z8692 and he said, 559 z8799 For x3588 I will goe downe 3381 z8799 into the graue 7585 vnto x413 my sonne, 1121 mourning; 57 thus his father 1 wept 1058 z8799 for him.

 37:36 And the Medanites 4092 sold 4376 z8804 him into x413 Egypt 4714 vnto Potiphar, 6318 an officer 5631 of Pharaohs, 6547 [and] captaine 8269 of the guard. 2876
