Jakob, som också kallades Israel, bodde i Kanaan, där hans far hade bott före honom. Det här är berättelsen om hans familj.
Jacob, who was also called Israel, lived in Canaan, where his father had lived before him. This is the story of his family.
Josef var sjutton år och vallade familjens djur tillsammans med sina bröder. Bland dem fanns sönerna till Bilha och Silpa, två av Jakobs hustrur. Josef berättade negativa saker om sina bröder för sin far.
Joseph was seventeen and tended the family's animals with his brothers. Among them were the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, two of Jacob's wives. Joseph told his father negative things about his brothers.
Jakob hade fått Josef på sin ålderdom och älskade honom mer än sina andra barn. Han lät sy en mångfärgad tunika åt honom. När bröderna märkte att deras far föredrog Josef började de hata honom. De kunde inte ens tala vänligt med honom.
Jacob had Joseph in his old age and loved him more than his other children. He had a multicolored tunic made for him. When the brothers noticed that their father favored Joseph, they began to hate him. They could not even speak kindly to him.
