절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Joseph and His Brothers Jacob lived in the land of Canaan, where his father Isaac had lived,	And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
2	and this is the story of his family. When Jacob's son Joseph was 17 years old, he took care of the sheep with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah. But he was always telling his father all sorts of bad things about his brothers.	These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
3	Jacob loved Joseph more than he did any of his other sons, because Joseph was born when Jacob was very old. Jacob had even given Joseph a fancy coat	Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
4	which showed that Joseph was his favorite son, and so Joseph's brothers hated him and would not be friendly to him.	And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
5	One day, Joseph told his brothers what he had dreamed, and they hated him even more.	And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
6	Joseph said, “Let me tell you about my dream.	And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
7	We were out in the field, tying up bundles of wheat. Suddenly my bundle stood up, and your bundles gathered around and bowed down to it.”	For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
8	His brothers asked, “Do you really think you are going to be king and rule over us?” Now they hated Joseph more than ever because of what he had said about his dream.	And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
9	Joseph later had another dream, and he told his brothers, “Listen to what else I dreamed. The sun, the moon, and eleven stars bowed down to me.”	And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
10	When he told his father about this dream, his father became angry and said, “What's that supposed to mean? Are your mother and I and your brothers all going to come and bow down to you?”	And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
11	Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept wondering about the dream.	And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
12	Joseph Is Sold and Taken to Egypt One day when Joseph's brothers had taken the sheep to a pasture near Shechem,	And his brethren went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.
13	his father Jacob said to him, “I want you to go to your brothers. They are with the sheep near Shechem.” “Yes, sir,” Joseph answered.	And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
14	His father said, “Go and find out how your brothers and the sheep are doing. Then come back and let me know.” So he sent him from Hebron Valley. Joseph was near Shechem	And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
15	and wandering through the fields, when a man asked, “What are you looking for?”	And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16	Joseph answered, “I'm looking for my brothers who are watching the sheep. Can you tell me where they are?”	And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
17	“They're not here anymore,” the man replied. “I overheard them say they were going to Dothan.” Joseph left and found his brothers in Dothan.	And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
18	But before he got there, they saw him coming and made plans to kill him.	And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
19	They said to one another, “Look, here comes the hero of those dreams!	And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20	Let's kill him and throw him into a pit and say that some wild animal ate him. Then we'll see what happens to those dreams.”	Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21	Reuben heard this and tried to protect Joseph from them. “Let's not kill him,” he said.	And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
22	“Don't murder him or even harm him. Just throw him into a well out here in the desert.” Reuben planned to rescue Joseph later and take him back to his father.	And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
23	When Joseph came to his brothers, they pulled off his fancy coat	And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
24	and threw him into a dry well.	And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
25	As Joseph's brothers sat down to eat, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with all kinds of spices that they were taking to Egypt.	And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26	So Judah said, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and hide his body?	And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27	Let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not harm him. After all, he is our brother.” And the others agreed.	Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
28	When the Midianite merchants came by, Joseph's brothers took him out of the well, and for 20 pieces of silver they sold him to the Ishmaelites who took him to Egypt.	Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
29	When Reuben returned to the well and did not find Joseph there, he tore his clothes in sorrow.	And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
30	Then he went back to his brothers and said, “The boy is gone! What am I going to do?”	And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
31	Joseph's brothers killed a goat and dipped Joseph's fancy coat in its blood.	And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32	After this, they took the coat to their father and said, “We found this! Look at it carefully and see if it belongs to your son.”	And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no.
33	Jacob knew it was Joseph's coat and said, “It's my son's coat! Joseph has been torn to pieces and eaten by some wild animal.”	And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
34	Jacob mourned for Joseph a long time, and to show his sorrow he tore his clothes and wore sackcloth.	And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
35	All of Jacob's children came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said, “I will go to my grave, mourning for my son.” So Jacob kept on grieving.	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. Thus his father wept for him.
36	Meanwhile, the Midianites had sold Joseph in Egypt to a man named Potiphar, who was the king's official in charge of the palace guard.	And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh’s, and captain of the guard.
