¹ Ja need olid Eesavi, see on Edomi järeltulijad:

² Eesav võttis oma naised Kaanani tütreist: Aada, hett Eeloni tütre, ja Oholibama, hiivlase Sibeoni poja Ana tütre,

³ ja Baasmati, Ismaeli tütre, Nebajoti õe.

⁴ Aada tõi Eesavile ilmale Eliifase, ja Baasmat tõi ilmale Reueli.

⁵ Ja Oholibama tõi ilmale Jeusi, Jalami ja Korahi; need olid Eesavi pojad, kes temale sündisid Kaananimaal.

⁶ Ja Eesav võttis oma naised, pojad ja tütred ja kõik oma pere hingelised, karja, kõik veoloomad ja kogu varanduse, mis ta Kaananimaal oli soetanud, ja läks teisele maale, ära oma venna Jaakobi juurest.

⁷ Sest nende varandus oli liiga suur üheskoos elamiseks, ja maa, kus nad võõrastena elasid, ei suutnud neid toita nende karjade pärast.

⁸ Ja Eesav asus elama Seiri mäestikku; Eesav on Edom.

⁹ Ja need olid Eesavi, edomlaste isa järeltulijad Seiri mäestikus:

¹⁰ need olid Eesavi poegade nimed: Eliifas, Eesavi naise Aada poeg, Reuel, Eesavi naise Baasmati poeg.

³⁰ vürst Diison, vürst Eeser, vürst Diisan. Need olid horiitide vürstid nende vürstide kaupa Seirimaal.

³¹ Ja need olid kuningad, kes valitsesid Edomimaal, enne kui ükski kuningas valitses Iisraeli laste üle:

³² Bela, Beori poeg, oli kuningaks Edomis, ja tema linna nimi oli Dinhaba.

³³ Kui Bela suri, sai tema asemel kuningaks Joobab, Serahi poeg Bosrast.

³⁴ Kui Joobab suri, sai tema asemel kuningaks Huusam teemanlaste maalt.

³⁵ Kui Huusam suri, sai tema asemel kuningaks Hadad, Bedadi poeg, kes lõi midjanlasi Moabi väljadel; ja tema linna nimi oli Aviit.

¹ Jacob lived in the land of his father's travels, in the land of Canaan.

² This is the history of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. Joseph brought an evil report of them to their father.

³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a coat of many colors.

⁴ His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him, and couldn't speak peaceably to him.

⁵ Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him all the more.

⁶ He said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

⁷ for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves came around, and bowed down to my sheaf."

⁸ His brothers said to him, "Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?" They hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words.

⁹ He dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brothers, and said, "Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me."

¹⁰ He told it to his father and to his brothers. His father rebuked him, and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?"

¹¹ His brothers envied him, but his father kept this saying in mind.

¹² His brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

¹³ Israel said to Joseph, "Aren't your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." He said to him, "Here I am."

¹⁴ He said to him, "Go now, see whether it is well with your brothers, and well with the flock; and bring me word again." So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

¹⁵ A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, "What are you looking for?"

¹⁶ He said, "I am looking for my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are feeding the flock."

¹⁷ The man said, "They have left here, for I heard them say, 'Let us go to Dothan.'" Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.

¹⁸ They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

¹⁹ They said one to another, "Behold, this dreamer comes.

²⁰ Come now therefore, and let's kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, 'An evil animal has devoured him.' We will see what will become of his dreams."

²¹ Reuben heard it, and delivered him out of their hand, and said, "Let's not take his life."

²² Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but lay no hand on him"--that he might deliver him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.

²³ It happened, when Joseph came to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;

²⁴ and they took him, and threw him into the pit. The pit was empty. There was no water in it.

²⁵ They sat down to eat bread, and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.

²⁶ Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

²⁷ Come, and let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, and not let our hand be on him; for he is our brother, our flesh." His brothers listened to him.

²⁸ Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph into Egypt.

²⁹ Reuben returned to the pit; and saw that Joseph wasn't in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

³⁰ He returned to his brothers, and said, "The child is no more; and I, where will I go?"

³¹ They took Joseph's coat, and killed a male goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

³² They took the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, "We have found this. Examine it, now, whether it is your son's coat or not."

³³ He recognized it, and said, "It is my son's coat. An evil animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces."

³⁴ Jacob tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

³⁵ All his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. He said, "For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning." His father wept for him.

³⁶ The Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard.
