Joseph and His Brothers
Jacob lived
in the land of Canaan where his father had stayed. This
is the story of Jacob’s family. Joseph, a young man of seventeen, was tending
the flocks with his brothers. Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his other
sons, because he had been born to him in his old age. When his brothers saw
that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not
speak a kind word to him.
Once Joseph had a dream. He told it to
his brothers, they hated him even more. He said to them, “Listen to this dream,
behold, we were binding sheaves in the field,
and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered
around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”
His
brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule
us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream.
Then
he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. He said, “I had another dream, and this time
the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”
When
he told this to his father. He scolded him and said, “What is this dream you
had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the
ground before you?” His brothers were jealous of him.
Once Joseph
brothers had gone to feed their father’s flocks at Shechem, Jacob said to Joseph, “Go and check your brothers and folks and make sure that they are well.”
“Of
course,” he replied.
When
Joseph arrived at Shechem, a man found him wandering around in the fields and
asked him, “What are you looking for?”
He
replied, “I’m looking for my brothers, who are taking care of their flocks?”
“They have gone away. I heard them say, ‘Let us go
to Dothan”. So Joseph went after his
brothers and found them at Dothan.
They
saw him in the distance, and before he reached, they planned to kill him. “Here
comes that dreamer!” they said to each other. “Come now, let’s kill him and
throw him into a dry well and say some wild animal killed him. Then we will see
what comes of his dreams.”
Reuben,
Jacob’s oldest son heard this and tried to rescue him. “Let’s not take his
life. Don’t shed any blood” he said. Throw him into this well here but not hurt
him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take back to his father.
When
Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped his robe and threw him into the
well.
