Genesis 37:3 in Context — Genesis 37
1 E habitou Jacó na terra onde peregrinou seu pai, na terra de Canaã.
2 Estas foram as gerações de Jacó. José, sendo de idade de dezessete anos apascentava as ovelhas com seus irmãos; e o jovem estava com os filhos de Bila, e com os filhos de Zilpa, mulheres de seu pai: e contava José a seu pai as más notícias acerca deles.
3 E amava Israel a José mais que a todos os seus filhos, porque lhe havia tido em sua velhice: e lhe fez uma roupa de diversas cores.
4 E vendo seus irmãos que seu pai o amava mais que a todos os seus irmãos, odiavam-lhe, e não lhe podiam falar pacificamente.
5 E sonhou José um sonho e contou-o a seus irmãos; e eles vieram a odiar-lhe mais ainda.
