Scene 1 · Beginner
Jakob, som også ble kalt Israel, bodde i Kanaan. Sønnen hans Josef var sytten år. Han passet på dyrene sammen med brødrene sine. Josef fortalte faren sin om ting brødrene gjorde som ikke var bra.
Jacob, who was also called Israel, lived in Canaan. His son Joseph was seventeen years old. He looked after the animals with his brothers. Joseph told his father about things his brothers did that were wrong.
Jakob hadde fått Josef da han var gammel, og han elsket ham mer enn de andre barna sine. Han laget et langt plagg til Josef, en kjortel med mange farger. Brødrene merket at faren var mest glad i Josef. De hatet Josef og snakket aldri vennlig til ham.
Joseph was born when Jacob was old, and Jacob loved him more than his other children. He made Joseph a long garment, a robe of many colors. The brothers noticed that their father loved Joseph most. They hated Joseph and never spoke kindly to him.
