GENESIS

Genesis 37

1And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan, wherein his father sojourned.
Genesis 17:8, Genesis 17:8, Genesis 23:4, Genesis 23:4, Genesis 28:4
2And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.
Genesis 35:25, Genesis 35:26, Genesis 35:25, Genesis 35:26, Genesis 35:22
3Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.
Genesis 37:32, John 13:22, John 13:23, 2 Samuel 13:18, Genesis 37:32
4And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated hem, and could not speak peaceably to him.
Genesis 27:41, Genesis 27:41, 1 John 4:20, 1 John 3:12, Psalms 69:4
5Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.
Genesis 28:12, Genesis 28:12, John 17:14, Genesis 42:9, Joel 2:28
6And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.
Genesis 44:18, Genesis 44:18, Judges 9:7, Judges 9:7
7I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about bowed down before my sheaf.
Genesis 42:6, Genesis 44:14, Genesis 42:6, Genesis 44:14, Genesis 43:26
8His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.
1 Samuel 10:27, Acts 7:35, 1 Samuel 10:27, Acts 7:35, Psalms 2:3
9He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
Acts 7:9, Acts 7:14, Acts 7:9, Acts 7:14, Genesis 37:7
10And when he had told this to his father, and brethren, his father rebuked him and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth?
Genesis 27:29, Genesis 27:29, Philippians 2:10, Philippians 2:11, Genesis 37:7
11His brethren therefore envied him: but his father considered the thing with himself.
Acts 7:9, Acts 7:9, Luke 2:19, Luke 2:51, Luke 2:19
12And when his brethren abode in Sechem, feeding their father's flocks,
Genesis 34:25, Genesis 34:31, Genesis 37:1, Genesis 33:18, Genesis 34:25
13Israel said to him: Thy brethren feed the sheep in Sichem: come, I will send thee to them. And when he answered:
Matthew 10:16, Genesis 22:1, 1 Samuel 17:17, 1 Samuel 17:20, Luke 20:13
14I am ready: he said to him: Go, and see if all things be well with thy brethren, and the cattle: and bring me word again what is doing. So being sent from the vale of Hebron, he came to Sichem:
Genesis 35:27, Genesis 35:27, Psalms 125:5, Luke 19:42, Psalms 125:5
15And a man found him there wandering in the field, and asked what he sought.
Judges 4:22, Judges 4:22, Genesis 21:14, John 18:7, John 4:27
16But he answered: I seek my brethren, tell me where they feed the flocks.
Luke 19:10, Luke 19:10, Song of Solomon 1:7, Song of Solomon 1:7
17And the man said to him: They are departed from this place: for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothain. And Joseph went forward after his brethren, and found them in Dothain.
2 Kings 6:13, 2 Kings 6:13
18And when they saw him afar off, before he came nigh them, they thought to kill him:
Acts 23:12, Acts 23:12, Psalms 37:32, Mark 14:1, Psalms 37:12
19And said one to another: Behold the dreamer cometh.
Genesis 28:12, Genesis 28:12, Genesis 49:23, Genesis 37:5, Genesis 37:11
20Come, let us kill him, and cast him into some old pit: and we will say: Some evil beast hath devoured him: and then it shall appear what his dreams avail him:
Titus 3:3, Proverbs 27:4, Titus 3:3, Proverbs 27:4, Matthew 2:2
21And Ruben hearing this, endeavoured to deliver him out of their hands, and said:
Genesis 42:22, Genesis 42:22, Matthew 10:28, Genesis 9:5, Joshua 10:28
22Do not take away his life, nor shed his blood: but cast him into this pit, that is in the wilderness, and keep your hands harmless: now he said this, being desirous to deliver him out of their hands and to restore him to his father.
Exodus 24:11, Genesis 42:22, Deuteronomy 13:9, Genesis 22:12, Acts 12:1
23And as soon as he came to his brethren, they forthwith stript him of his outside coat, that was of divers colours:
Genesis 37:3, Genesis 42:21, Genesis 37:31, Genesis 37:33, Matthew 27:28
24And cast him into an old pit where there was not water.
Jeremiah 38:6, Jeremiah 38:6, Psalms 130:1, Psalms 130:2, Zechariah 9:11
25And sitting down to eat bread, they saw some Ismaelites on their way coming from Galaad, with their camels, carrying spices, and balm, and myrrh to Egypt.
Genesis 43:11, Genesis 37:28, Genesis 43:11, Genesis 37:28, Jeremiah 8:22
26And Juda said to his brethren: What will it profit us to kill our brother, and conceal his blood?
Genesis 37:20, Genesis 37:20, Genesis 4:10, Genesis 4:10, Matthew 16:26
27It is better that he be sold to the Ismaelites, and that our hands be not defiled: for he is our brother and our flesh. His brethren agreed to his words.
Genesis 42:21, Matthew 16:26, Genesis 42:21, Matthew 16:26, 1 Samuel 18:17
28And when the Madianite merchants passed by, they drew him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ismaelites, for twenty pieces of silver: and they led him into Egypt.
Acts 7:9, Psalms 105:17, Acts 7:9, Psalms 105:17, Genesis 25:2
29And Ruben returning to the pit, found not the boy:
Genesis 37:34, Job 1:20, Genesis 37:34, Job 1:20, Genesis 44:13
30And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go?
Genesis 42:13, Genesis 42:13, Genesis 42:32, Jeremiah 31:15, Genesis 42:32
31And they took his coat, and dipped it in the blood of a kid, which they had killed:
Genesis 37:23, Genesis 37:23, Genesis 37:3, Genesis 37:3, Proverbs 28:13
32Sending some to carry it to their father, and to say: This we have found: see whether it be thy son's coat, or not.
Luke 15:30, Genesis 44:20, Genesis 44:23, Luke 15:30, Genesis 44:20
33And the father acknowledging it, said: It is my son's coat, an evil wild beast hath eaten him, a beast hath devoured Joseph.
Genesis 37:20, Genesis 44:28, Genesis 37:20, Genesis 44:28, Proverbs 14:15
34And tearing his garments, he put on sackcloth, mourning for his son a long time.
Genesis 37:29, Genesis 37:29, 2 Samuel 3:31, 2 Samuel 3:31, Nehemiah 9:1
35And all his children being gathered together to comfort their father in his sorrow, he would not receive comfort, but said: I will go down to my son into hell, mourning. And whilst he continued weeping,
2 Samuel 12:17, Genesis 42:38, Job 2:11, 2 Samuel 12:17, Genesis 42:38
36The Madianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Putiphar, an eunuch of Pharao, captain of the soldiers.
