Genesis 37
- 1 And Jacob dwelt in the land in which his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
- 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 to his father their evil report.
- 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colors.
- 4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.
- 5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
- 6 And he said to them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
- 7 For behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves stood around and made obeisance to my sheaf.
- 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? and they hated him yet the more for his dreams and for his words.
- 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more: and behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
- 10 And he told [it] to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said to him, what [is] this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
- 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
- 12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
- 13 And Israel said to Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed [the flock] in Shechem? Come, and I will send thee to them. And he said to him, Here [am I].
- 14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it is well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him from the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
- 15 And a certain man found him, and behold [he was] wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
- 16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed [their flocks].
- 17 And the man said, They have departed hence: for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren and found them in Dothan.
- 18 And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near to them, they conspired against him to slay him.
- 19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer is coming.
- 20 Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit; and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
- 21 And Reuben heard [it], and he delivered him from their hands: and said, Let us not kill him.
- 22 And Reuben said to them, Shed no blood; cast him into this pit that [is] in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might deliver him from their hands, to bring him back to his father.
- 23 And it came to pass when Joseph had come to his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, [his] coat of [many] colors that [was] on him.
- 24 And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit [was] empty; [there was] no water in it.
- 25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery, and balm, and myrrh, going to carry [them] down to Egypt.
- 26 And Judah said to his brethren, What profit [is it] if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood.
- 27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he [is] our brother, our flesh: and his brethren were content.
- 28 Then there passed by Midianites, merchants; and they drew and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty [pieces] of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
- 29 And Reuben returned to the pit; and behold, Joseph [was] not in the pit: and he rent his clothes.
- 30 And he returned to his brethren, and said, The child [is] not: and I, whither shall I go?
- 31 And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood:
- 32 And they sent the coat of [many] colors, and they brought [it] to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it [is] thy son's coat or not.
- 33 And he knew it, and said, [It is] my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him: Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
- 34 And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
- 35 And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave to my son mourning: Thus his father wept for him.
- 36 And the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, [and] captain of the guard.

Webster Bible Electronic Format.
PUBLIC DOMAIN
February 1992
Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.
I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.- Direction: LTR
