Jacob was also called Israel. He lived in Canaan, where his father had lived before him. His son Joseph was seventeen years old and looked after the sheep with his brothers. Joseph told their father something bad about his brothers.
Jakob var allerede gammel da han fik Josef. Han elskede Josef mere end sine andre børn og lavede en kjortel til ham. Det var et stykke tøj i mange farver. Brødrene kunne se at Jakob holdt mere af Josef end af dem. De hadede Josef og kunne ikke engang tale venligt til ham.
