- 1And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
- 2These 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.

- 5And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

- 11And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
- 12And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
- 13And 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.
- 14And 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.
