Genesis 37:3-5
Contemporary English Version

3 Jacob loved Joseph more than he did any of his other sons, because Joseph was born when Jacob was very old. Jacob had even given Joseph a fancy coat[a] 4 which showed that Joseph was his favorite son, and so Joseph's brothers hated him and would not be friendly to him.

5 One day, Joseph told his brothers what he had dreamed, and they hated him even more.
