Scene 1 · Beginner

Den mångfärgade tunikan

The coat of many colors

Jakob, som också kallades Israel, bodde i Kanaan, där hans far hade bott. Hans son Josef var sjutton år och tog hand om djuren tillsammans med sina bröder. Han berättade dåliga saker om sina bröder för Jakob. Jakob var redan gammal när Josef föddes, och han älskade Josef mer än sina andra barn.

Jacob, who was also called Israel, lived in Canaan, where his father had lived. His son Joseph was seventeen years old and looked after the animals with his brothers. He told Jacob bad things about his brothers. Jacob was already old when Joseph was born, and he loved Joseph more than his other children.

Han gav Josef en tunika, ett långt plagg i många färger. Bröderna såg att Josef var sin fars favorit. De hatade Josef och kunde inte tala vänligt med honom.

He gave Joseph a tunic, a long garment in many colors. The brothers saw that Joseph was their father’s favorite. They hated Joseph and could not speak kindly to him.
