This is the account of Jacob. When Joseph [was] seventeen… years old, he was tending the flock… with his brothers, - the sons of his father’s wives Bilhah… and Zilpah, and he brought their father a bad report about them.

Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him in his old age; so he made him a robe of many colors.

When [Joseph’s] brothers saw that their father loved him more than any [of them], they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.

Then Joseph had a dream…, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more…

“Do you intend to reign… over us?”… his brothers asked “Will you actually rule… us?” So they hated him even more… because of his dream… and his statements.
