Scene 1 · Beginner
Jacó, também chamado Israel, morava em Canaã. Seu filho José tinha dezessete anos e cuidava dos animais com os irmãos. Um dia, José contou ao pai coisas ruins sobre eles.
Jacob, also called Israel, lived in Canaan. His son Joseph was seventeen years old and tended the livestock with his brothers. One day, Joseph told his father bad things about them.
Jacó amava José mais do que os outros filhos, porque José tinha nascido quando ele já era velho. Por isso, fez uma túnica de muitas cores para ele. Os irmãos percebiam a preferência do pai e odiavam José. Nem conseguiam falar com ele de forma amigável.
Jacob loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph had been born when Jacob was already old. So he made him a many-colored robe. The brothers could see that their father favored Joseph, and they hated him. They could not even speak to him in a friendly way.
