Chapter 37
Joseph is sold out of envy by his brothers.
And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger in the land of Canaan.
And these are the generations of Jacob: Joseph was seventeen years old when he became a
shepherd of cattle with his brethren: and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah his father’s wives, and brought them before their father, where there was an evil cry against them.
And Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he begat him in his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
When therefore his brethren saw that their father loved him better than all his brethren, they were enemies to him and could not speak a kind word to him.
And once Joseph had a dream, and told it unto his brethren; and they became more hostile unto him.
For he said unto them: Hear, I pray thee, what I have dreamed.
And it came to pass, that we bound sheaves in the field, and my sheaf rose up, and stood, and your sheaves round about bowed down against my sheaf.
And his brethren said unto him, Shall thou be our king, and reign over us? And they became more hostile to him because of his dream and his speech.
And he had another dream, and told it his brethren, saying, Behold, I have had another dream.
The sun and the moon and the eleven stars were bowing down before me.
And when it was told his father and his brethren, his father rebuked him, saying unto him, What dream is this that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren come and worship thee?
And his brethren envied him. But his father kept these words.
And his brethren went to feed their father’s cattle in Shechem, 13. And Israel said unto Joseph, Dost not thy brethren keep the cattle in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said, Here am I.
And he said, Go and see whether it be well with thy brethren, and with the cattle; and tell me again how it is. And he sent him out of the valley of Hebron to go to Shechem.
And when a man found him going astray in the field, he asked him, saying, Whom seekest thou?
And he answered: I seek my brethren; rather, tell me where they shepherd.
And the man said, They are departed thence: for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph followed his brethren, and found them at Dothan.
And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh unto them, they smote to kill him, 19. And they said one to another, Behold, the dreamer cometh.
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into a pit, and say that an evil beast hath devoured him; and it shall be seen what his dreams are.
And when Reuben heard it, he would have delivered him out of their hands, saying, Let us not kill him.
And again, Reuben said unto them: Shed not blood, but cast him into the pit that is in the wilderness, and lay not your hand upon him. And he would deliver him out of their hand, that he might bring him again unto his father.
And when Joseph was come to his brethren, they stripped him of his coat, with the coat of many colours that he had on;
And they took him, and cast him into a pit: but that pit was empty, and there was no water in it.
And they sat down to eat. And they lifted up their eyes, and saw a company of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh; and they went down into Egypt.
And Judah said unto his brethren: What profit is it that we slay our brother, and hide his blood?
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, that our hands be not offended against him: for he is our brother, our flesh and blood. And they obeyed him.
And when the Midianites the merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver; and they brought him into Egypt.
And when Reuben was come again to the pit, he found not Joseph therein, he tore his dress
And he came again to his brethren, and said, The lad is not there; where shall I go?
And they took Joseph’s skirt, and slew a kid, and dipped the skirt in the blood.
And they sent the coat of many colours, and brought it to their father, saying, This we have found; see whether it be thy son’s coat or not.
And he knew him, and said, It is my son’s skirt; an evil beast hath devoured it, a ravening beast hath torn Joseph in pieces.
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son a long time.
And all his sons and his daughters came up to comfort him: but he would not be comforted, and said: I will go down with sorrow into the pit to my son. And his father wept over him.
But the Midianites sold him in Egypt unto Potiphar, Pharaoh’s chamberlain and steward.

Chapter 38
Judah’s incest with Thamar.
And it came to pass about that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and joined himself to a man of Odollam, whose name was Hira.
And Judah saw there the daughter of a Canaanite man, whose name was Shuah; and he took her. And when he had put her to sleep,
And she conceived, and bare a son, and called his name Ger.
And she conceived, and bare a son, and called his name Onan.
And she bare a son, and called his name Shelah: and he was at Cheshib when she bare him.
And Judah gave unto Ger his first son a wife, whose name was Tamar.
But he was wicked in the sight of the LORD; therefore the Lord slew him.
And Judah said unto Onan, Lie with thy brother’s wife, and take her in marriage, and raise up seed unto thy brother.
