CHAPTER 37
Genesis 37:1-36
Genesis 37:1-36
1. And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
1. Habitavit itaque Iahacob in terra peregrinationum patris sui, in terra Chenaan.
2. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
2. Istae sunt generationes Iahacob. Joseph filius septendecim annorum pascebat cum fratribus suis pecudes, et erat puer cum filiis Bilhah et cum filiis Zilpah uxorum patris sui: et retulit Ioseph obloquutionem eorum malam patri eorum.
