Genesis 37:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 These are the [a]generations of Jacob when Joseph was seventeen years old, he kept sheep with his brethren, and the child was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives, And Joseph brought unto their father their evil [b][c]saying.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he begat him in his old age and he made him a coat of many [d]colors.
4 So when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, then they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
