Summary
And Jacob dwelt in confidence in the land of his father's sojournings in the land of Canaan.
These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, had come from the house of instruction, and he was a lad brought up with the sons of Bilhahy and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them that he had seen them eating flesh torn from living animals, the ears and the tails, and he came and told their father.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because the appearance of Joseph was like his own appearance: and he made him an embroidered garment.
(These verses follow the Hebrew.)
And at the appointed time of days Israel said unto Joseph, ‘Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? I am afraid lest the Hivites come and smite them because they smote Hamor and Shechem and the inhabitants of the town. Come, and I will send thee unto them.’ And he said to him, ‘Here am I’.
And he said to him, ‘Go now, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flock; and bring me word again’. So he sent him because of the profound advice spoken to Abraham in Hebron, and on that day began the captivity of Egypt.
