6 以扫带着他在迦南所得的妻子、儿女和家中所有的人员，以及所有的牲畜和财产离开雅各，迁往别处。 7 以扫和雅各两家的财产和牲畜太多，那地方不够他们住， 8 于是以扫，即以东，搬到了西珥山居住。

约瑟的梦
37 雅各住在他父亲寄居的迦南， 2 以下是有关雅各一家的记载。
十七岁的少年约瑟跟哥哥们，就是雅各的妾辟拉和悉帕生的儿子们一同放羊。他向父亲报告哥哥们做的坏事。 3 约瑟是以色列年老时生的，以色列特别宠爱他，为他做了一件彩衣。 4 约瑟的哥哥们见父亲偏爱他，就怀恨在心，对他恶言相向。
5 约瑟做了一个梦，并告诉了哥哥们，他们更恨他了。 6 约瑟对哥哥们说：“你们听听我做的梦—— 7 我们在田里捆庄稼，我捆的庄稼站起来，你们捆的庄稼都围着我捆的庄稼下拜。” 8 他的哥哥们回答说：“难道你真想做我们的王统治我们吗？”他们因约瑟的梦和他说的话而更恨他。
9 后来，约瑟又做了一个梦，他又去对哥哥们说：“你们听听我做的另一个梦，我梦见太阳、月亮和十一颗星星都向我下拜。” 10 约瑟把梦告诉了父亲和哥哥们，他父亲就责备他说：“你做的是什么梦！难道你的父母弟兄都要来向你俯伏下拜吗？” 11 约瑟的哥哥们嫉恨他，他父亲却把这些话记在心里。
12 约瑟的哥哥们到示剑放父亲的羊。 13 以色列把约瑟叫来，对他说：“你哥哥们在示剑放羊，我要派你去他们那里。”约瑟说：“好的。” 14 以色列说：“你去看看你哥哥们以及羊群是否平安，然后回来告诉我。”于是，约瑟就从希伯仑谷出发去示剑。 15 有人见他在田野走迷了路，就问他：“你在找什么？” 16 约瑟回答说：“我在找我哥哥们，你知道他们在哪里放羊吗？” 17 那人说：“他们已经走了，我听他们说要到多坍去。”约瑟就赶往多坍，在那里找到了他们。
18 约瑟的哥哥们远远看见他走来，趁他还没有到跟前，就合谋要害死他。 19 他们彼此商量说：“看！做梦的来了。 20 来吧！我们杀了他，把他扔在井里，就说有野兽把他吃掉了，看他的梦怎么实现。” 21 吕便听后想救约瑟的性命，就说：“我们不要害他性命。” 22 他又说：“不要杀人流血，把他扔在这口井里吧，不要下手害他。”吕便想救约瑟，把他交回给父亲。 23 这时候，约瑟来了，他们就脱去他身上的彩衣， 24 把他扔到井里。当时，那口井是干的，没有水。
25 他们坐下来吃饭的时候，看见一队从基列来的以实玛利商人用骆驼驮着香料、乳香、没药去埃及。 26 犹大对他的众弟兄说：“我们杀死弟弟、掩盖罪行有什么益处呢？ 27 不如把他卖给以实玛利人，不要下手害他，他毕竟是我们的弟弟，我们的骨肉啊！”其他弟兄都赞成他的意见。 28 于是，那些米甸商人经过的时候，他们就把约瑟从井里拉上来，以二百二十克银子的价钱把他卖给了以实玛利人。这些商人把他带到埃及去了。
29 吕便回到井边发现约瑟不见了，就伤心地撕裂了身上的衣服， 30 回到弟兄们那里说：“那少年不见了，我现在怎么办？” 31 他们宰了一只公山羊，把血染在约瑟的彩衣上， 32 拿去给父亲，说：“我们捡到这件衣服，你看看是不是你儿子的？” 33 雅各认出那件彩衣，说：“这是我儿子的衣服，一定是野兽把他吃了，约瑟一定被撕碎了！” 34 雅各撕裂自己的衣服，束上麻布，为约瑟哀伤了好几天。 35 他的儿女都来安慰他，他却不肯接受他们的安慰，说：“我一定会凄凄惨惨地下到阴间，去我儿子那里。”约瑟的父亲为他哀哭。
36 那些米甸人把约瑟带到埃及后，把他卖给了法老的内臣——护卫长波提乏。

約瑟的夢
37 雅各住在他父親寄居的迦南， 2 以下是有關雅各一家的記載。
十七歲的少年約瑟跟哥哥們，就是雅各的妾辟拉和悉帕生的兒子們一同放羊。他向父親報告哥哥們做的壞事。 3 約瑟是以色列年老時生的，以色列特別寵愛他，為他做了一件彩衣。 4 約瑟的哥哥們見父親偏愛他，就懷恨在心，對他惡言相向。
5 約瑟做了一個夢，並告訴了哥哥們，他們更恨他了。 6 約瑟對哥哥們說：「你們聽聽我做的夢—— 7 我們在田裡捆莊稼，我捆的莊稼站起來，你們捆的莊稼都圍著我捆的莊稼下拜。」 8 他的哥哥們回答說：「難道你真想做我們的王統治我們嗎？」他們因約瑟的夢和他說的話而更恨他。
9 後來，約瑟又做了一個夢，他又去對哥哥們說：「你們聽聽我做的另一個夢，我夢見太陽、月亮和十一顆星星都向我下拜。」 10 約瑟把夢告訴了父親和哥哥們，他父親就責備他說：「你做的是什麼夢！難道你的父母弟兄都要來向你俯伏下拜嗎？」 11 約瑟的哥哥們嫉恨他，他父親卻把這些話記在心裡。
12 約瑟的哥哥們到示劍放父親的羊。 13 以色列把約瑟叫來，對他說：「你哥哥們在示劍放羊，我要派你去他們那裡。」約瑟說：「好的。」 14 以色列說：「你去看看你哥哥們以及羊群是否平安，然後回來告訴我。」於是，約瑟就從希伯崙谷出發去示劍。 15 有人見他在田野走迷了路，就問他：「你在找什麼？」 16 約瑟回答說：「我在找我哥哥們，你知道他們在哪裡放羊嗎？」 17 那人說：「他們已經走了，我聽他們說要到多坍去。」約瑟就趕往多坍，在那裡找到了他們。
18 約瑟的哥哥們遠遠看見他走來，趁他還沒有到跟前，就合謀要害死他。 19 他們彼此商量說：「看！做夢的來了。 20 來吧！我們殺了他，把他扔在井裡，就說有野獸把他吃掉了，看他的夢怎麼實現。」 21 呂便聽後想救約瑟的性命，就說：「我們不要害他性命。」 22 他又說：「不要殺人流血，把他扔在這口井裡吧，不要下手害他。」呂便想救約瑟，把他交回給父親。 23 這時候，約瑟來了，他們就脫去他身上的彩衣， 24 把他扔到井裡。當時，那口井是乾的，沒有水。
25 他們坐下來吃飯的時候，看見一隊從基列來的以實瑪利商人用駱駝馱著香料、乳香、沒藥去埃及。 26 猶大對他的眾弟兄說：「我們殺死弟弟、掩蓋罪行有什麼益處呢？ 27 不如把他賣給以實瑪利人，不要下手害他，他畢竟是我們的弟弟，我們的骨肉啊！」其他弟兄都贊成他的意見。 28 於是，那些米甸商人經過的時候，他們就把約瑟從井裡拉上來，以二百二十克銀子的價錢把他賣給了以實瑪利人。這些商人把他帶到埃及去了。
29 呂便回到井邊發現約瑟不見了，就傷心地撕裂了身上的衣服， 30 回到弟兄們那裡說：「那少年不見了，我現在怎麼辦？」 31 他們宰了一隻公山羊，把血染在約瑟的彩衣上， 32 拿去給父親，說：「我們撿到這件衣服，你看看是不是你兒子的？」 33 雅各認出那件彩衣，說：「這是我兒子的衣服，一定是野獸把他吃了，約瑟一定被撕碎了！」 34 雅各撕裂自己的衣服，束上麻布，為約瑟哀傷了好幾天。 35 他的兒女都來安慰他，他卻不肯接受他們的安慰，說：「我一定會淒淒慘慘地下到陰間，去我兒子那裡。」約瑟的父親為他哀哭。
36 那些米甸人把約瑟帶到埃及後，把他賣給了法老的內臣——護衛長波提乏。

Esau’s Descendants(A)(B)
36 This is the account(C) of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).(D)
2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:(E) Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,(F) and Oholibamah(G) daughter of Anah(H) and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite(I)— 3 also Basemath(J) daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.(K)
4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,(L) 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.(M) These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,(N) and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.(O) 7 Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.(P) 8 So Esau(Q) (that is, Edom)(R) settled in the hill country of Seir.(S)
9 This is the account(T) of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites(U) in the hill country of Seir.
10 These are the names of Esau’s sons:
Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.(V)
11 The sons of Eliphaz:(W)

12 Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine(Z) named Timna, who bore him Amalek.(AA) These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah.(AB)
13 The sons of Reuel:
Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath.(AC)
14 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah(AD) daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau:

15 These were the chiefs(AF) among Esau’s descendants:

18 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah:(AN)
Chiefs Jeush, Jalam and Korah.(AO) These were the chiefs descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah.
19 These were the sons of Esau(AP) (that is, Edom),(AQ) and these were their chiefs.(AR)
20 These were the sons of Seir the Horite,(AS) who were living in the region:
Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,(AT) 21 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs.(AU)
22 The sons of Lotan:

23 The sons of Shobal:
Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho and Onam.
24 The sons of Zibeon:(AV)

29 These were the Horite chiefs:

The Rulers of Edom(BC)
31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king(BD) reigned:
32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.
33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah(BE) succeeded him as king.
34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites(BF) succeeded him as king.
35 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian(BG) in the country of Moab,(BH) succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith.
36 When Hadad died, Samlah from Masrekah succeeded him as king.
37 When Samlah died, Shaul from Rehoboth(BI) on the river succeeded him as king.

This is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites.(BK)
Joseph’s Dreams
37 Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed,(BL) the land of Canaan.(BM)
2 This is the account(BN) of Jacob’s family line.
Joseph,(BO) a young man of seventeen,(BP) was tending the flocks(BQ) with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah(BR) and the sons of Zilpah,(BS) his father’s wives, and he brought their father a bad report(BT) about them.
3 Now Israel(BU) loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,(BV) because he had been born to him in his old age;(BW) and he made an ornate[f] robe(BX) for him.(BY) 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him(BZ) and could not speak a kind word to him.
5 Joseph had a dream,(CA) and when he told it to his brothers,(CB) they hated him all the more.(CC) 6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: 7 We were binding sheaves(CD) of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”(CE)
8 His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?”(CF) And they hated him all the more(CG) because of his dream and what he had said.
9 Then he had another dream,(CH) and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars(CI) were bowing down to me.”(CJ)
10 When he told his father as well as his brothers,(CK) his father rebuked(CL) him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”(CM) 11 His brothers were jealous of him,(CN) but his father kept the matter in mind.(CO)
Joseph Sold by His Brothers
12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem,(CP) 13 and Israel(CQ) said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem.(CR) Come, I am going to send you to them.”
“Very well,” he replied.
14 So he said to him, “Go and see if all is well with your brothers(CS) and with the flocks, and bring word back to me.” Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron.(CT)
When Joseph arrived at Shechem, 15 a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?”
17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.(CU)’”
So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.(CV)
19 “Here comes that dreamer!(CW)” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns(CX) and say that a ferocious animal(CY) devoured him.(CZ) Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”(DA)
21 When Reuben(DB) heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said.(DC) 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern(DD) here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.(DE)
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(DF) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(DG) The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites(DH) coming from Gilead.(DI) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(DJ) and myrrh,(DK) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(DL)
26 Judah(DM) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(DN) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(DO) our own flesh and blood.(DP)” His brothers agreed.
28 So when the Midianite(DQ) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(DR) and sold(DS) him for twenty shekels[g] of silver(DT) to the Ishmaelites,(DU) who took him to Egypt.(DV)
29 When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.(DW) 30 He went back to his brothers and said, “The boy isn’t there! Where can I turn now?”(DX)
31 Then they got Joseph’s robe,(DY) slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.(DZ) 32 They took the ornate robe(EA) back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.”
33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal(EB) has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”(EC)
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes,(ED) put on sackcloth(EE) and mourned for his son many days.(EF) 35 All his sons and daughters came to comfort him,(EG) but he refused to be comforted.(EH) “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son(EI) in the grave.(EJ)” So his father wept for him.
36 Meanwhile, the Midianites[h](EK) sold Joseph(EL) in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.(EM)

19 这些族长都是以扫的子孙，以扫又名以东。

约瑟的梦
37 雅各住在他父亲寄居的迦南， 2 以下是有关雅各一家的记载。
十七岁的少年约瑟跟哥哥们，就是雅各的妾辟拉和悉帕生的儿子们一同放羊。他向父亲报告哥哥们做的坏事。 3 约瑟是以色列年老时生的，以色列特别宠爱他，为他做了一件彩衣。 4 约瑟的哥哥们见父亲偏爱他，就怀恨在心，对他恶言相向。
5 约瑟做了一个梦，并告诉了哥哥们，他们更恨他了。 6 约瑟对哥哥们说：“你们听听我做的梦—— 7 我们在田里捆庄稼，我捆的庄稼站起来，你们捆的庄稼都围着我捆的庄稼下拜。” 8 他的哥哥们回答说：“难道你真想做我们的王统治我们吗？”他们因约瑟的梦和他说的话而更恨他。
9 后来，约瑟又做了一个梦，他又去对哥哥们说：“你们听听我做的另一个梦，我梦见太阳、月亮和十一颗星星都向我下拜。” 10 约瑟把梦告诉了父亲和哥哥们，他父亲就责备他说：“你做的是什么梦！难道你的父母弟兄都要来向你俯伏下拜吗？” 11 约瑟的哥哥们嫉恨他，他父亲却把这些话记在心里。
12 约瑟的哥哥们到示剑放父亲的羊。 13 以色列把约瑟叫来，对他说：“你哥哥们在示剑放羊，我要派你去他们那里。”约瑟说：“好的。” 14 以色列说：“你去看看你哥哥们以及羊群是否平安，然后回来告诉我。”于是，约瑟就从希伯仑谷出发去示剑。 15 有人见他在田野走迷了路，就问他：“你在找什么？” 16 约瑟回答说：“我在找我哥哥们，你知道他们在哪里放羊吗？” 17 那人说：“他们已经走了，我听他们说要到多坍去。”约瑟就赶往多坍，在那里找到了他们。
18 约瑟的哥哥们远远看见他走来，趁他还没有到跟前，就合谋要害死他。 19 他们彼此商量说：“看！做梦的来了。 20 来吧！我们杀了他，把他扔在井里，就说有野兽把他吃掉了，看他的梦怎么实现。” 21 吕便听后想救约瑟的性命，就说：“我们不要害他性命。” 22 他又说：“不要杀人流血，把他扔在这口井里吧，不要下手害他。”吕便想救约瑟，把他交回给父亲。 23 这时候，约瑟来了，他们就脱去他身上的彩衣， 24 把他扔到井里。当时，那口井是干的，没有水。
25 他们坐下来吃饭的时候，看见一队从基列来的以实玛利商人用骆驼驮着香料、乳香、没药去埃及。 26 犹大对他的众弟兄说：“我们杀死弟弟、掩盖罪行有什么益处呢？ 27 不如把他卖给以实玛利人，不要下手害他，他毕竟是我们的弟弟，我们的骨肉啊！”其他弟兄都赞成他的意见。 28 于是，那些米甸商人经过的时候，他们就把约瑟从井里拉上来，以二百二十克银子的价钱把他卖给了以实玛利人。这些商人把他带到埃及去了。
29 吕便回到井边发现约瑟不见了，就伤心地撕裂了身上的衣服， 30 回到弟兄们那里说：“那少年不见了，我现在怎么办？” 31 他们宰了一只公山羊，把血染在约瑟的彩衣上， 32 拿去给父亲，说：“我们捡到这件衣服，你看看是不是你儿子的？” 33 雅各认出那件彩衣，说：“这是我儿子的衣服，一定是野兽把他吃了，约瑟一定被撕碎了！” 34 雅各撕裂自己的衣服，束上麻布，为约瑟哀伤了好几天。 35 他的儿女都来安慰他，他却不肯接受他们的安慰，说：“我一定会凄凄惨惨地下到阴间，去我儿子那里。”约瑟的父亲为他哀哭。
36 那些米甸人把约瑟带到埃及后，把他卖给了法老的内臣——护卫长波提乏。

約瑟的夢
37 雅各住在他父親寄居的迦南， 2 以下是有關雅各一家的記載。
十七歲的少年約瑟跟哥哥們，就是雅各的妾辟拉和悉帕生的兒子們一同放羊。他向父親報告哥哥們做的壞事。 3 約瑟是以色列年老時生的，以色列特別寵愛他，為他做了一件彩衣。 4 約瑟的哥哥們見父親偏愛他，就懷恨在心，對他惡言相向。
5 約瑟做了一個夢，並告訴了哥哥們，他們更恨他了。 6 約瑟對哥哥們說：「你們聽聽我做的夢—— 7 我們在田裡捆莊稼，我捆的莊稼站起來，你們捆的莊稼都圍著我捆的莊稼下拜。」 8 他的哥哥們回答說：「難道你真想做我們的王統治我們嗎？」他們因約瑟的夢和他說的話而更恨他。
9 後來，約瑟又做了一個夢，他又去對哥哥們說：「你們聽聽我做的另一個夢，我夢見太陽、月亮和十一顆星星都向我下拜。」 10 約瑟把夢告訴了父親和哥哥們，他父親就責備他說：「你做的是什麼夢！難道你的父母弟兄都要來向你俯伏下拜嗎？」 11 約瑟的哥哥們嫉恨他，他父親卻把這些話記在心裡。
12 約瑟的哥哥們到示劍放父親的羊。 13 以色列把約瑟叫來，對他說：「你哥哥們在示劍放羊，我要派你去他們那裡。」約瑟說：「好的。」 14 以色列說：「你去看看你哥哥們以及羊群是否平安，然後回來告訴我。」於是，約瑟就從希伯崙谷出發去示劍。 15 有人見他在田野走迷了路，就問他：「你在找什麼？」 16 約瑟回答說：「我在找我哥哥們，你知道他們在哪裡放羊嗎？」 17 那人說：「他們已經走了，我聽他們說要到多坍去。」約瑟就趕往多坍，在那裡找到了他們。
18 約瑟的哥哥們遠遠看見他走來，趁他還沒有到跟前，就合謀要害死他。 19 他們彼此商量說：「看！做夢的來了。 20 來吧！我們殺了他，把他扔在井裡，就說有野獸把他吃掉了，看他的夢怎麼實現。」 21 呂便聽後想救約瑟的性命，就說：「我們不要害他性命。」 22 他又說：「不要殺人流血，把他扔在這口井裡吧，不要下手害他。」呂便想救約瑟，把他交回給父親。 23 這時候，約瑟來了，他們就脫去他身上的彩衣， 24 把他扔到井裡。當時，那口井是乾的，沒有水。
25 他們坐下來吃飯的時候，看見一隊從基列來的以實瑪利商人用駱駝馱著香料、乳香、沒藥去埃及。 26 猶大對他的眾弟兄說：「我們殺死弟弟、掩蓋罪行有什麼益處呢？ 27 不如把他賣給以實瑪利人，不要下手害他，他畢竟是我們的弟弟，我們的骨肉啊！」其他弟兄都贊成他的意見。 28 於是，那些米甸商人經過的時候，他們就把約瑟從井裡拉上來，以二百二十克銀子的價錢把他賣給了以實瑪利人。這些商人把他帶到埃及去了。
29 呂便回到井邊發現約瑟不見了，就傷心地撕裂了身上的衣服， 30 回到弟兄們那裡說：「那少年不見了，我現在怎麼辦？」 31 他們宰了一隻公山羊，把血染在約瑟的彩衣上， 32 拿去給父親，說：「我們撿到這件衣服，你看看是不是你兒子的？」 33 雅各認出那件彩衣，說：「這是我兒子的衣服，一定是野獸把他吃了，約瑟一定被撕碎了！」 34 雅各撕裂自己的衣服，束上麻布，為約瑟哀傷了好幾天。 35 他的兒女都來安慰他，他卻不肯接受他們的安慰，說：「我一定會淒淒慘慘地下到陰間，去我兒子那裡。」約瑟的父親為他哀哭。
36 那些米甸人把約瑟帶到埃及後，把他賣給了法老的內臣——護衛長波提乏。

Esau’s Descendants(A)(B)
36 This is the account(C) of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom).(D)
2 Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan:(E) Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite,(F) and Oholibamah(G) daughter of Anah(H) and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite(I)— 3 also Basemath(J) daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth.(K)
4 Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,(L) 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah.(M) These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.
6 Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan,(N) and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.(O) 7 Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock.(P) 8 So Esau(Q) (that is, Edom)(R) settled in the hill country of Seir.(S)
9 This is the account(T) of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites(U) in the hill country of Seir.
10 These are the names of Esau’s sons:
Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath.(V)
11 The sons of Eliphaz:(W)

18 The sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah:(AN)
Chiefs Jeush, Jalam and Korah.(AO) These were the chiefs descended from Esau’s wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah.
19 These were the sons of Esau(AP) (that is, Edom),(AQ) and these were their chiefs.(AR)
20 These were the sons of Seir the Horite,(AS) who were living in the region:
Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,(AT) 21 Dishon, Ezer and Dishan. These sons of Seir in Edom were Horite chiefs.(AU)
22 The sons of Lotan:

23 The sons of Shobal:

29 These were the Horite chiefs:

The Rulers of Edom(BC)
31 These were the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king(BD) reigned:
32 Bela son of Beor became king of Edom. His city was named Dinhabah.
33 When Bela died, Jobab son of Zerah from Bozrah(BE) succeeded him as king.
34 When Jobab died, Husham from the land of the Temanites(BF) succeeded him as king.
35 When Husham died, Hadad son of Bedad, who defeated Midian(BG) in the country of Moab,(BH) succeeded him as king. His city was named Avith.

This is the family line of Esau, the father of the Edomites.(BK)
Joseph’s Dreams
37 Jacob lived in the land where his father had stayed,(BL) the land of Canaan.(BM)
2 This is the account(BN) of Jacob’s family line.
Joseph,(BO) a young man of seventeen,(BP) was tending the flocks(BQ) with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah(BR) and the sons of Zilpah,(BS) his father’s wives, and he brought their father a bad report(BT) about them.
3 Now Israel(BU) loved Joseph more than any of his other sons,(BV) because he had been born to him in his old age;(BW) and he made an ornate[f] robe(BX) for him.(BY) 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him(BZ) and could not speak a kind word to him.
5 Joseph had a dream,(CA) and when he told it to his brothers,(CB) they hated him all the more.(CC) 6 He said to them, “Listen to this dream I had: 7 We were binding sheaves(CD) of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it.”(CE)
8 His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?”(CF) And they hated him all the more(CG) because of his dream and what he had said.
9 Then he had another dream,(CH) and he told it to his brothers. “Listen,” he said, “I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars(CI) were bowing down to me.”(CJ)
10 When he told his father as well as his brothers,(CK) his father rebuked(CL) him and said, “What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?”(CM) 11 His brothers were jealous of him,(CN) but his father kept the matter in mind.(CO)
Joseph Sold by His Brothers
12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem,(CP) 13 and Israel(CQ) said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem.(CR) Come, I am going to send you to them.”
“Very well,” he replied.
14 So he said to him, “Go and see if all is well with your brothers(CS) and with the flocks, and bring word back to me.” Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron.(CT)
When Joseph arrived at Shechem, 15 a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?”
16 He replied, “I’m looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?”
17 “They have moved on from here,” the man answered. “I heard them say, ‘Let’s go to Dothan.(CU)’”
So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.(CV)
19 “Here comes that dreamer!(CW)” they said to each other. 20 “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns(CX) and say that a ferocious animal(CY) devoured him.(CZ) Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”(DA)
21 When Reuben(DB) heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. “Let’s not take his life,” he said.(DC) 22 “Don’t shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern(DD) here in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.(DE)
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(DF) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(DG) The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites(DH) coming from Gilead.(DI) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(DJ) and myrrh,(DK) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(DL)
26 Judah(DM) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(DN) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(DO) our own flesh and blood.(DP)” His brothers agreed.
28 So when the Midianite(DQ) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(DR) and sold(DS) him for twenty shekels[g] of silver(DT) to the Ishmaelites,(DU) who took him to Egypt.(DV)
29 When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.(DW) 30 He went back to his brothers and said, “The boy isn’t there! Where can I turn now?”(DX)
31 Then they got Joseph’s robe,(DY) slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.(DZ) 32 They took the ornate robe(EA) back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.”
33 He recognized it and said, “It is my son’s robe! Some ferocious animal(EB) has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”(EC)
34 Then Jacob tore his clothes,(ED) put on sackcloth(EE) and mourned for his son many days.(EF) 35 All his sons and daughters came to comfort him,(EG) but he refused to be comforted.(EH) “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son(EI) in the grave.(EJ)” So his father wept for him.
36 Meanwhile, the Midianites[h](EK) sold Joseph(EL) in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard.(EM)
