Genesis 37 A Faithful Version: Joseph’s Dreams
Gen 37:1 And Jacob lived in the land of the sojournings of his father, in the land of Canaan.
Gen 37:2 This is the account of the family of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, came tending the flock with his brothers. And he was a youth with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought to his father an evil report of them.
Gen 37:3 And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a tunic reaching to the soles of his feet.
Gen 37:4 And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Gen 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream and told it to his brothers. And they hated him still more.
Gen 37:6 And he said to them, “I pray you, hear this dream which I have dreamed,
Gen 37:7 For behold, we were binding sheaves in the middle of the field, and lo, my sheaf arose and also stood upright. And behold, your sheaves stood around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
Gen 37:8 And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have the rule over us?” And they hated him still more for his dreams and for his words.
Gen 37:9 And he dreamed still another dream, and told it to his brothers. And he said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. And behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”
Gen 37:10 And he told it to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I, and your mother, and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the earth before you?”
Gen 37:11 And his brothers were jealous of him. But his father was mindful of the saying.
Joseph Sold by His Brothers
Gen 37:12 And his brothers went to feed his father’s flock in Shechem.
Gen 37:13 And Israel said to Joseph, “Do not your brothers feed the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
Gen 37:14 And he said to him, “Please go see whether it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks. And bring me word again.” And he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Gen 37:15 And a certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, “What are you looking for?”
Gen 37:16 And he said, “I am seeking for my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks.”
Gen 37:17 And the man said, “They are gone from here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’ ” And Joseph went after his brothers, and found them in Dothan.
Gen 37:18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Gen 37:19 And they said to one another, “Behold, this dreamer comes.
Gen 37:20 Therefore come now, and let us kill him, and throw him into some pit, and we will say some evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams.”
Gen 37:21 And Reuben heard, and he delivered him out of their hands and said, “Let us not kill him.”
Gen 37:22 And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him”—in order to rescue him out of their hands, and deliver him to his father again.
Gen 37:23 And it came to pass when Joseph had come to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic reaching to the soles of his feet that was on him.
Gen 37:24 And they took him and threw him into a pit. And the pit was empty with no water in it.
Gen 37:25 And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted up their eyes and looked. And behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spices and balm and myrrh, to take them down to Egypt.
Gen 37:26 And Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we should kill our brother and hide his blood?
Gen 37:27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, and our flesh.” And his brothers hearkened.
Gen 37:28 Then Midianite traders passed by, and they drew up Joseph and took him out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Gen 37:29 And Reuben returned to the pit. And behold, Joseph was not in the pit! And he tore his clothes.
Gen 37:30 And he returned to his brothers and said, “The boy, he is not there. And I, where shall I go?”
Gen 37:31 And they took Joseph’s tunic and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
Gen 37:32 And they took the tunic reaching to the soles of the feet, and they brought it to their father. And they said, “We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son’s coat or not?”
Gen 37:33 And he knew it, and said, “It is my son’s tunic. An evil beast has eaten him. Joseph is without a doubt torn in pieces.”
Gen 37:34 And Jacob tore his clothes and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Gen 37:35 And all his sons and all his daughters, rose up to comfort him. But he refused to be comforted. And he said, “For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning.” And his father wept for him.
Gen 37:36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an official of Pharaoh, the chief of the executioners.

Genesis Chapter 34 A Faithful Version
The Defiling of Dinah
Gen 34:1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Gen 34:2 And when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and defiled her.
Gen 34:3 And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke to the heart of the girl.
Gen 34:4 And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this girl for a wife.”
Gen 34:5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. And his sons were with his livestock in the field. And Jacob kept silent until they had come.
Gen 34:6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Gen 34:7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard. And the men were furious, and they were very angry because he had done folly in Israel in lying with the daughter of Jacob. And such a thing ought not to be done.
Gen 34:8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, “The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him for a wife.
Gen 34:9 And you make marriages with us, giving your daughters to us, and taking our daughters to you.
Gen 34:10 And you shall live with us. And the land shall be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it.”
Gen 34:11 And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find grace in your eyes, and whatever you shall say to me I will give.
Gen 34:12 Ask of me what you desire for the price and gift of a bride, and I will give according as you shall say to me. But give me the maiden for a wife.”
Gen 34:13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, speaking with deceit because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
Gen 34:14 And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised, for it is a reproach to us.
Gen 34:15 But in this we will agree with you, if you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised,
Gen 34:16 Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will live with you, and we will become one people.
Gen 34:17 But if you will not hearken to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will go.”
Gen 34:18 And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.
Gen 34:19 And the young man did not hesitate to do the thing because he had delight in Jacob’s daughter. And he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
Gen 34:20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,
Gen 34:21 “These men are at peace with us. Therefore, let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Gen 34:22 Only on this condition will the men agree to us, to live with us, to be one people, if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
Gen 34:23 Shall not their livestock and their substance and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will live with us.”
Gen 34:24 And all that went out of the gate of his city hearkened to Hamor and to Shechem his son. And every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
Gen 34:25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took each his sword and came upon the city boldly, and killed all the males.
Gen 34:26 And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went out.
Gen 34:27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city because they had defiled their sister.
Gen 34:28 They took their sheep and their oxen and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field.
Gen 34:29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives, they took captive, and plundered even all that was in the house.
Gen 34:30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me to make me a stench among those who live in the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number, and they shall gather themselves together against me, and kill me. And I shall be destroyed, my house and I.”
Gen 34:31 And they said, “Should he deal with our sister as with a harlot?”
