¶ The .xxxvij. Chapter.
And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger / that is to say in the land of Canaan. And these are the generations of Jacob: when Joseph was. x•ij. year old / he kept sheep with his brethren / and the lad was with the sons of Bilha & of Zilpah his fathers wives. And he brought unto their father an evil saying that was of them. And Israel loved Joseph more than all his children / because he begat him in his old age / and he made him a coot of many colours.
ANd Jacob dwelt in the lande wherein his father was a straunger / yt is to saye in the lande of Canaan. And these are the generations of Jacob: when Ioseph was. x•ij. yere olde / he kepte shepe with his brethren / and the lad was with the sonnes of Bilha & of Zilpha his fathers wyues. And he brought vnto their father an euyll saynge yt was of them. And Israel loued Joseph more than all his childern / because he begat hym in his olde age / and he made him a coote of many coloures.
When his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren / they hated him and could not speak one kind word unto him. Moreover Joseph dreamed a dream and told it his brethren: wherefore they hated him yet the more. And he said unto them hear I pray you this dream which I have dreamed: Behold we were making shes in the fold: and lo / my sheaf arose and stood up right / and yours stood round about and made obeisance to my sheaf. Than said his brethren unto him: what / shalt thou be our king or shalt thou reign over us? And they hated him yet the in ore / because of his dream and of his words.
