21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond
the tower of Eder. 22 While Israel lived
in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father’s concubine, and
Israel heard of it.
Now
the sons of Jacob were twelve. 23 The
sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and
Zebulun. 24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph
and Benjamin. 25 The sons of Bilhah
(Rachel’s servant): Dan and Naphtali. 26
The sons of Zilpah (Leah’s servant): Gad and Asher. These are the sons
of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram. 27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to
Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.
28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty
years. 29 Isaac gave up the spirit and
died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his
sons, buried him.

Now this is the history of the generations of Esau (that is, Edom). 2 Esau took his wives from the daughters of
Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; and Oholibamah the daughter of
Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite; 3
and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth. 4 Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz. Basemath bore
Reuel. 5 Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam,
and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of
Canaan. 6 Esau took his wives, his sons,
his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his livestock, all his
animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan,
and went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their substance was too great for them to
dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of
their livestock. 8 Esau lived in the
hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom.
9 This is the history of the generations of
Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir: 10 these are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz,
the son of Adah, the wife of Esau; and Reuel, the son of Basemath, the wife of
Esau. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman,
Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz. 12
Timna was concubine to Eliphaz, Esau’s son; and she bore to Eliphaz
Amalek. These are the descendants of Adah, Esau’s wife. 13 These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah,
Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the descendants of Basemath, Esau’s wife.
14 These were the sons of Oholibamah,
the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, Esau’s wife: she bore to Esau
Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.
15 These are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: the
sons of Eliphaz the firstborn of Esau: chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho,
chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korah, chief
Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs who came of Eliphaz in the land of
Edom. These are the sons of Adah. 17
These are the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah,
chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs who came of Reuel in the land
of Edom. These are the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife. 18 These are the sons of Oholibamah, Esau’s
wife: chief Jeush, chief Jalam, chief Korah. These are the chiefs who came of
Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau’s wife. 19 These are the sons of Esau (that is, Edom),
and these are their chiefs.
20 These are the sons of Seir the Horite, the
inhabitants of the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah, 21 Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These are the
chiefs who came of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom. 22 The children of Lotan were Hori and Heman.
Lotan’s sister was Timna. 23 These are
the children of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam. 24 These are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and
Anah. This is Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness, as he fed the
donkeys of Zibeon his father. 25 These
are the children of Anah: Dishon and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah. 26 These are the children of Dishon: Hemdan,
Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran. 27 These are
the children of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan. 28 These are the children of Dishan: Uz and
Aran. 29 These are the chiefs who came
of the Horites: chief Lotan, chief Shobal, chief Zibeon, chief Anah, 30 chief Dishon, chief Ezer, and chief Dishan.
These are the chiefs who came of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the
land of Seir.
31 These are the kings who reigned in the land
of Edom, before any king reigned over the children of Israel. 32 Bela, the son of Beor, reigned in Edom. The
name of his city was Dinhabah. 33 Bela died,
and Jobab, the son of Zerah of Bozrah, reigned in his place. 34 Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the
Temanites reigned in his place. 35
Husham died, and Hadad, the son of Bedad, who struck Midian in the field
of Moab, reigned in his place. The name of his city was Avith. 36 Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in
his place. 37 Samlah died, and Shaul of
Rehoboth by the river, reigned in his place. 38
Shaul died, and Baal Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place. 39
Baal Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place. The name of
his city was Pau. His wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the
daughter of Mezahab.
40 These are the names of the chiefs who came
from Esau, according to their families, after their places, and by their names:
chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth, 41
chief Oholibamah, chief Elah, chief Pinon, 42 chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar,
43 chief Magdiel, and chief Iram. These
are the chiefs of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their
possession. This is Esau, the father of the Edomites.

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
tunic 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 asked him, “Will you indeed
reign over us? 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 the earth before you?” 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’s 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 to one 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 When Joseph came to his brothers, they
stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic 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. The merchants 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 tunic, and killed a male goat, and dipped the tunic
in the blood. 32 They took the tunic of
many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, “We have found this.
Examine it, now, and see if it is your son’s tunic or not.”
33 He recognized it, and said, “It is my son’s
tunic. 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.
