1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. KJRV — Genesis 37:1
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. KJRV — Genesis 37:2
3 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. KJRV — Genesis 37:3
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. KJRV — Genesis 37:4
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, (Genesis 42:9) and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. KJRV — Genesis 37:5
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: KJRV — Genesis 37:6
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance (Genesis 42:6; Genesis 43:26; Genesis 44:14) to my sheaf. KJRV — Genesis 37:7
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated (Genesis 27:41) him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. KJRV — Genesis 37:8
9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun (Revelation 12:1) and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. KJRV — Genesis 37:9
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? KJRV — Genesis 37:10
11 And his brethren envied (Genesis 26:14; Ecclesiastes 4:4) him; but his father observed the saying. KJRV — Genesis 37:11
12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. KJRV — Genesis 37:12
13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I. KJRV — Genesis 37:13
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. KJRV — Genesis 37:14
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? KJRV — Genesis 37:15
16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. KJRV — Genesis 37:16
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. (2 Kings 6:13) And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan. KJRV — Genesis 37:17
18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired (1 Samuel 19:1; Psalms 31:13; Psalms 94:21; Matthew 27:1; Acts 23:12) against him to slay him. KJRV — Genesis 37:18
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. KJRV — Genesis 37:19
20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams. KJRV — Genesis 37:20
21 And Reuben (Genesis 42:22) heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. KJRV — Genesis 37:21
22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again. KJRV — Genesis 37:22
23 And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colors that was on him; KJRV — Genesis 37:23
24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. KJRV — Genesis 37:24
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. KJRV — Genesis 37:25
26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? KJRV — Genesis 37:26
27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. KJRV — Genesis 37:27
28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt. KJRV — Genesis 37:28
29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. KJRV — Genesis 37:29
30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; (Genesis 42:13; Genesis 44:20; Lamentations 5:7) and I, whither shall I go? KJRV — Genesis 37:30
31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; KJRV — Genesis 37:31
32 And they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no. KJRV — Genesis 37:32
33 And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces. KJRV — Genesis 37:33
34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. KJRV — Genesis 37:34
35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose (2 Samuel 12:17) up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. KJRV — Genesis 37:35
36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard. KJRV — Genesis 37:36
