| וישב יעקב בארץ מגורי אביו בארץ כנען׃ | Gen 37:1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. |
| אלה׀ תלדות יעקב יוסף בן־שבע־עשרה שנה היה רעה את־אחיו בצאן והוא נער את־בני בלהה ואת־בני זלפה נשי אביו ויבא יוסף את־דבתם רעה אל־אביהם׃ | Gen 37:2 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. |
| וישראל אהב את־יוסף מכל־בניו כי־בן־זקנים הוא לו ועשה לו כתנת פסים׃ | Gen 37:3 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. |
| ויראו אחיו כי־אתו אהב אביהם מכל־אחיו וישנאו אתו ולא יכלו דברו לשלם׃ | Gen 37:4 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. |
| ויחלם יוסף חלום ויגד לאחיו ויוספו עוד שנא אתו׃ | Gen 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. |
| ויאמר אליהם שמעו־נא החלום הזה אשר חלמתי׃ | Gen 37:6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: |
| והנה אנחנו מאלמים אלמים בתוך השדה והנה קמה אלמתי וגם־נצבה והנה תסבינה אלמתיכם ותשתחוין לאלמתי׃ | Gen 37:7 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. |
| ויאמרו לו אחיו המלך תמלך עלינו אם־משול תמשל בנו ויוספו עוד שנא אתו על־חלמתיו ועל־דבריו׃ | Gen 37:8 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. |
| ויחלם עוד חלום אחר ויספר אתו לאחיו ויאמר הנה חלמתי חלום עוד והנה השמש והירח ואחד עשר כוכבים משתחוים לי׃ | Gen 37:9 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. |
| ויספר אל־אביו ואל־אחיו ויגער־בו אביו ויאמר לו מה החלום הזה אשר חלמת הבוא נבוא אני ואמך ואחיך להשתחות לך ארצה׃ | Gen 37:10 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? |
| ויקנאו־בו אחיו ואביו שמר את־הדבר׃ | Gen 37:11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying. |
| וילכו אחיו לרעות את־צאן אביהם בשכם׃ | Gen 37:12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem. |
| ויאמר ישראל אל־יוסף הלוא אחיך רעים בשכם לכה ואשלחך אליהם ויאמר לו הנני׃ | Gen 37:13 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. |
| ויאמר לו לך־נא ראה את־שלום אחיך ואת־שלום הצאן והשבני דבר וישלחהו מעמק חברון ויבא שכמה׃ | Gen 37:14 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. |
| וימצאהו איש והנה תעה בשדה וישאלהו האיש לאמר מה־תבקש׃ | Gen 37:15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? |
| ויאמר את־אחי אנכי מבקש הגידה־נא לי איפה הם רעים׃ | Gen 37:16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. |
| ויאמר האיש נסעו מזה כי שמעתי אמרים נלכה דתינה וילך יוסף אחר אחיו וימצאם בדתן׃ | Gen 37:17 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. |
| ויראו אתו מרחק ובטרם יקרב אליהם ויתנכלו אתו להמיתו׃ | Gen 37:18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him. |
| ויאמרו איש אל־אחיו הנה בעל החלמות הלזה בא׃ | Gen 37:19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh. |
| ועתה׀ לכו ונהרגהו ונשלכהו באחד הברות ואמרנו חיה רעה אכלתהו ונראה מה־יהיו חלמתיו׃ | Gen 37:20 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. |
| וישמע ראובן ויצלהו מידם ויאמר לא נכנו נפש׃ | Gen 37:21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him. |
| ויאמר אלהם׀ ראובן אל־תשפכו־דם השליכו אתו אל־הבור הזה אשר במדבר ויד אל־תשלחו־בו למען הציל אתו מידם להשיבו אל־אביו׃ | Gen 37:22 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. |
| ויהי כאשר־בא יוסף אל־אחיו ויפשיטו את־יוסף את־כתנתו את־כתנת הפסים אשר עליו׃ | Gen 37:23 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; |
| ויקחהו וישלכו אתו הברה והבור רק אין בו מים׃ | Gen 37:24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. |
| וישבו לאכל־לחם וישאו עיניהם ויראו והנה ארחת ישמעאלים באה מגלעד וגמליהם נשאים נכאת וצרי ולט הולכים להוריד מצרימה׃ | Gen 37:25 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. |
| ויאמר יהודה אל־אחיו מה־בצע כי נהרג את־אחינו וכסינו את־דמו׃ | Gen 37:26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? |
| לכו ונמכרנו לישמעאלים וידנו אל־תהי־בו כי־אחינו בשרנו הוא וישמעו אחיו׃ | Gen 37:27 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. |
| ויעברו אנשים מדינים סחרים וימשכו ויעלו את־יוסף מן־הבור וימכרו את־יוסף לישמעאלים בעשרים כסף ויביאו את־יוסף מצרימה׃ | Gen 37:28 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. |
| וישב ראובן אל־הבור והנה אין־יוסף בבור ויקרע את־בגדיו׃ | Gen 37:29 And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. |
| וישב אל־אחיו ויאמר הילד איננו ואני אנה אני־בא׃ | Gen 37:30 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? |
| ויקחו את־כתנת יוסף וישחטו שעיר עזים ויטבלו את־הכתנת בדם׃ | Gen 37:31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; |
| וישלחו את־כתנת הפסים ויביאו אל־אביהם ויאמרו זאת מצאנו הכר־נא הכתנת בנך הוא אם־לא׃ | Gen 37:32 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. |
| ויכירה ויאמר כתנת בני חיה רעה אכלתהו טרף טרף יוסף׃ | Gen 37:33 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. |
