2 These are the generationsa of Jacob. Joseph, when ⌊seventeen years old⌋,b was shepherding the flock with his brothers. Now he was a helper with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, for he was a son of his old age. And he made a robe with long sleevesc for him. 4 When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and were not able to speak peaceably to him.
