Genesis 37:2-4
English Standard Version Anglicised
2 These are the generations of Jacob.
Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought (A)a bad report of them to their father. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was (B)the son of his old age. And he made him (C)a robe of many colours.[a] 4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.
