1. And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan wherein his father sojourned.
2. And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the dock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.
3. Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.
4. And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
