| [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. |
[8]And his brethrenH251 saidH559 H8799to him, Shalt thou indeedH4427 H8800reignH4427 H8799over us? or shalt thou indeedH4910 H8800have dominionH4910 H8799over us? And they hatedH8130 H8800him yet the moreH3254 H8686for his dreamsH2472, and for his wordsH1697. |

| [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? |
[10]And he toldH5608 H8762it to his fatherH1, and to his brethrenH251: and his fatherH1 rebukedH1605 H8799him, and saidH559 H8799unto him, What is this dreamH2472 that thou hast dreamedH2492 ?

| [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. |
[14]And he saidH559 H8799to him, GoH3212 , H8798I pray thee, seeH7200 H8798whether it be wellH7965 with thy brethrenH251, and wellH7965 with the flocksH6629; and bringH7725 me wordH1697 againH7725 . H8685So he sentH7971 H8799him out of the valeH6010 of HebronH2275, and he cameH935 H8799to ShechemH7927. |
| [15]And a certain man found him, and behold he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? |
[15]And a certain manH376 found himH4672 , H8799and, behold, he was wanderingH8582 H8802in the fieldH7704: and the manH376 asked himH7592 , H8799sayingH559 , H8800What seekestH1245 thouH8762? |

[17]And the manH376 saidH559 , H8799They are departedH5265 H8804henceH2088; for I heardH8085 H8804them sayH559 , H8802Let us goH3212 H8799to DothanH1886. And JosephH3130 wentH3212 H8799afterH310 his brethrenH251, and foundH4672 H8799them in DothanH1886. |
