Scene 1 · Beginner
Jacob, también llamado Israel, vivía en Canaán. Su hijo José tenía diecisiete años y cuidaba el rebaño con sus hermanos, entre ellos los hijos de Bilha y Zilpa, esposas de Jacob. José le contó a su padre cosas malas sobre ellos.
Jacob, also called Israel, lived in Canaan. His son Joseph was seventeen years old and tended the flock with his brothers, including the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, Jacob’s wives. Joseph told his father bad things about them.
Jacob lo quería más que a sus otros hijos porque había nacido cuando él ya era anciano. Le hizo una túnica de muchos colores. Los hermanos vieron que su padre prefería a José y empezaron a odiarlo. Ya no podían hablarle con cariño.
Jacob loved him more than his other sons because he had been born when Jacob was already an old man. He made him a many-colored robe. His brothers saw that their father favored Joseph, and they began to hate him. They could no longer speak kindly to him.
