Genesis 37:2-4

New Life Version

² This is the story of the children of Jacob and of their children.

When Joseph was seventeen years old, he was caring for the flock with his brothers. The boy was with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph told his father about how bad they were. ³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because Joseph was born when he was an old man. And Israel made him a long coat of many colors. ⁴ His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers. So they hated Joseph and could not speak a kind word to him.
