Genesis 37:3 in Context — Genesis 37
1 Y HABITÓ Jacob en la tierra donde peregrinó su padre, en la tierra de Canaán.
2 Estas fueron las generaciones de Jacob. José, siendo de edad de diez y siete años apacentaba las ovejas con sus hermanos; y el joven estaba con los hijos de Bilha, y con los hijos de Zilpa, mujeres de su padre: y noticiaba José á su padre la mala fama de ellos.
3 Y amaba Israel á José más que á todos sus hijos, porque le había tenido en su vejez: y le hizo una ropa de diversos colores.
4 Y viendo sus hermanos que su padre lo amaba más que á todos sus hermanos, aborrecíanle, y no le podían hablar pacíficamente.
5 Y soñó José un sueño, y contólo á sus hermanos; y ellos vinieron á aborrecerle más todavía.
