00:00.900 --> 00:05.380
Chapter 37 And Jacob dwelt in the land
wherein his father was a stranger,

00:05.720 --> 00:06.520
in the land of Canaan.

00:07.120 --> 00:08.640
These are the generations of Jacob.

00:09.180 --> 00:12.360
Joseph, being seventeen years old,
was feeding the flock with his brethren.

00:12.560 --> 00:16.600
And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah,
and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's

00:16.600 --> 00:16.940
wives.

00:17.260 --> 00:19.660
And Joseph brought unto his father their
evil report.

00:20.260 --> 00:23.740
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his
children, because he was the son of his

00:23.740 --> 00:26.160
old age, and he made him a coat of many
colors.

00:26.160 --> 00:29.460
And when his brethren saw that their
father loved him more than all his

00:29.460 --> 00:32.580
brethren, they hated him, and could not
speak peaceably unto him.

00:33.260 --> 00:35.700
And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it
his brethren.

00:35.940 --> 00:39.760
And they hated him yet the more,
and he said unto them, Here, I pray you,

00:39.840 --> 00:41.080
this dream which I have dreamed.

00:41.620 --> 00:45.180
For behold, we were binding sheaves in the
field, and lo, my sheaf arose,

00:45.360 --> 00:46.340
and also stood upright.

00:46.780 --> 00:50.700
And behold, your sheaves stood round
about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

00:51.000 --> 00:54.580
And his brethren said unto him,
Shalt thou indeed reign over us?

00:54.940 --> 00:57.200
or shalt thou indeed have dominion over
us?

00:57.460 --> 01:00.860
And they hated him yet the more for his
dreams, and for his words.

01:01.360 --> 01:04.180
And he dreamed yet another dream,
and told it his brethren, and said,

01:04.380 --> 01:07.840
Behold, I have dreamed a dream more,
and behold, the sun, and the moon,

01:07.880 --> 01:09.940
and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

01:10.280 --> 01:13.860
And he told it to his father, and to his
brethren, and his father rebuked him,

01:13.880 --> 01:17.100
and said unto him, What is this dream that
thou hast dreamed?

01:18.060 --> 01:22.280
Shall I, and thy mother, and thy brethren
indeed, come to bow down ourselves to

01:22.280 --> 01:23.340
thee, to the earth?

01:23.740 --> 01:26.740
And his brethren envied him, but his
father observed the saying.

01:27.280 --> 01:29.780
And his brethren went to feed their
father's flock in Shechem.

01:30.000 --> 01:34.080
And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy
brethren feed the flock in Shechem?

01:34.660 --> 01:36.960
Come, and I will send thee unto them.

01:37.160 --> 01:38.980
And he said to him, Here am I.

01:39.240 --> 01:43.620
And he said to him, Go, I pray thee,
see whether it be well with thy brethren,

01:43.820 --> 01:46.620
and well with the flocks, and bring me
word again.

01:47.160 --> 01:49.960
So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron,
and he came to Shechem.

01:50.700 --> 01:54.160
And a certain man found him, and behold,
he was wandering in the field.

01:54.380 --> 01:57.060
And the man asked him, saying,
What seekest thou?

01:57.280 --> 01:59.020
And he said, I seek my brethren.

01:59.220 --> 02:01.600
Tell me, I pray thee, where they feed
their flocks.

02:01.920 --> 02:06.840
And the man said, They are departed hence,
for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan.

02:07.020 --> 02:09.700
And Joseph went after his brethren,
and found them in Dothan.

02:09.700 --> 02:13.360
And when they saw him afar off,
even before he came near unto them,

02:13.640 --> 02:15.360
they conspired against him to slay him.

02:15.680 --> 02:18.860
And they said one to another, Behold,
this dreamer cometh.

02:19.560 --> 02:23.900
Come now, therefore, and let us slay him,
and cast him into some pit.

02:24.260 --> 02:29.180
And we will say, Some evil beast hath
devoured him, and we shall see what will

02:29.180 --> 02:30.400
become of his dreams.

02:30.980 --> 02:34.300
And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him
out of their hands, and said, Let us not

02:34.300 --> 02:34.840
kill him.

02:35.140 --> 02:39.700
And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood,
but cast him into this pit that is in the

02:39.700 --> 02:43.700
wilderness, and lay no hand upon him,
that he might rid him out of their hands,

02:43.740 --> 02:45.480
to deliver him to his father again.

02:45.960 --> 02:49.660
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come
unto his brethren, that they stripped

02:49.660 --> 02:52.860
Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many
colors that was on him.

02:53.240 --> 02:56.600
And they took him, and cast him into a
pit, and the pit was empty, there was no

02:56.600 --> 02:57.220
water in it.

02:57.660 --> 02:59.220
And they sat down to eat bread.

02:59.220 --> 03:02.480
And they lifted up their eyes,
and looked, and behold, a company of

03:02.480 --> 03:06.040
Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their
camels bearing spicery, and balm,

03:06.160 --> 03:08.020
and myrrh, going to carry it down to
Egypt.

03:08.400 --> 03:12.260
And Judas said unto his brethren,
What profit is it if we slay our brother,

03:12.360 --> 03:13.340
and conceal his blood?

03:13.940 --> 03:19.040
Come, and let us sell him to the
Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon

03:19.040 --> 03:21.320
him, for he is our brother and our flesh.

03:21.740 --> 03:22.960
And his brethren were content.

03:23.580 --> 03:27.260
Then there passed by Midianites,
merchantmen, and they drew and lifted up

03:27.260 --> 03:31.520
Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to
the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of

03:31.520 --> 03:31.780
silver.

03:32.140 --> 03:33.700
And they brought Joseph into Egypt.

03:34.300 --> 03:37.620
And Reuben returned unto the pit,
and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit.

03:37.760 --> 03:38.920
And he rent his clothes.

03:39.120 --> 03:43.060
And he returned unto his brethren,
and said, The child is not, and I,

03:43.520 --> 03:44.460
whither shall I go?

03:44.620 --> 03:48.280
And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a
kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in

03:48.280 --> 03:48.700
the blood.

03:49.040 --> 03:52.000
And they sent the coat of many colors,
and they brought it to their father,

03:52.040 --> 03:54.060
and said, This have we found.

03:54.620 --> 03:57.300
Know now whether it be thy son's coat or
no.

03:57.300 --> 04:01.340
And he knew it, and said, It is my son's
coat.

04:02.080 --> 04:04.260
An evil beast hath devoured him.

04:05.520 --> 04:08.180
Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

04:08.660 --> 04:12.500
And Jacob rent his clothes, and put
sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for

04:12.500 --> 04:13.640
his son many days.

04:13.980 --> 04:16.660
And all his sons and all his daughters
rose up to comfort him.

04:16.900 --> 04:20.620
But he refused to be comforted,
and he said, For I will go down into the

04:20.620 --> 04:22.380
grave unto my son, mourning.

04:22.380 --> 04:24.600
Thus his father wept for him.

04:25.000 --> 04:29.100
And the Midianites sold him into Egypt
unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's and

04:29.100 --> 04:30.000
captain of the guard.
