Scene 1 · Beginner
Giacobbe, chiamato anche Israele, vive nella terra di Canaan. Suo figlio Giuseppe ha diciassette anni e porta le pecore al pascolo con i fratelli. Racconta al padre cose negative sui fratelli.
Jacob, also called Israel, lives in the land of Canaan. His son Joseph is seventeen and tends the sheep with his brothers. He tells his father bad things about his brothers.
Giacobbe ama Giuseppe più degli altri figli, perché è nato quando lui era già anziano. Gli regala una tunica, un abito dai molti colori. I fratelli vedono questa preferenza e odiano Giuseppe. Non riescono nemmeno a parlargli con gentilezza.
Jacob loves Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was born when Jacob was already old. He gives him a tunic, a garment with many colors. His brothers see that Jacob favors him and hate Joseph. They cannot even speak kindly to him.
