Genesis 37:3 in Context — Genesis 37
1 Jacob demeura dans le pays de Canaan, où avait séjourné son père.
2 Voici la postérité de Jacob. Joseph, âgé de dix-sept ans, faisait paître le troupeau avec ses frères; cet enfant était auprès des fils de Bilha et des fils de Zilpa, femmes de son père. Et Joseph rapportait à leur père leurs mauvais propos.
3 Israël aimait Joseph plus que tous ses autres fils, parce qu’il l’avait eu dans sa vieillesse; et il lui fit une tunique de plusieurs couleurs.
4 Ses frères virent que leur père l’aimait plus qu’eux tous, et ils le prirent en haine. Ils ne pouvaient lui parler avec amitié.
5 Joseph eut un songe, et il le raconta à ses frères, qui le haïrent encore davantage.
