Genesis 37:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² This is the story of the descendants of Jacob.

Joseph was seventeen years old and tended the flocks with his brothers. He was young and stayed with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father. Now Joseph told his father bad reports about them.

³ Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons because he was the son of his old age, and he had a long tunic made for him. ⁴ His brothers, seeing that their father loved him most of all his sons, hated him and could not speak peaceably with him.
