Gênesis 37 - Bíblia Online

Habitou Jacó na terra das peregrinações de seu pai, na terra de Canaã. 
Estas são as gerações de Jacó. José, tendo dezessete anos, estava com seus irmãos apascentando os rebanhos; sendo ainda mocinho, acompanhava os filhos de Bila e os de Zilpa, mulheres de seu pai, e trouxe más notícias a respeito deles a seu pai. 
Ora Israel amava mais a José do que a todos os seus filhos, porque era filho da sua velhice; e fez-lhe uma túnica talar com mangas compridas. 
Viram seus irmãos que seu pai o amava mais que a todos os seus irmãos; aborreciam-no e não lhe podiam falar pacificamente. 
José teve um sonho, que relatou a seus irmãos; e odiaram-no ainda mais. 
Pois lhes disse: Ouvi este sonho que eu tive: 
eis que nós estávamos atando feixes no campo, e levantava-se o meu feixe e ficava em pé; os vossos feixes o rodeavam e prostravam-se perante o meu feixe. 
Responderam-lhe seus irmãos: Virás de fato a reinar sobre nós? ou virás de fato a ter domínio sobre nós? Aborreciam-no ainda mais por causa dos seus sonhos e por causa das suas palavras. 
Teve outro sonho que relatou a seus irmãos, dizendo: Tive ainda outro sonho: eis que o sol, a lua e onze estrelas se prostraram perante mim. 
Quando o relatou a seu pai e a seus irmãos, repreendeu-o seu pai e disse- lhe: Que sonho é este que sonhaste? Viremos, porventura, eu, tua mãe e teus irmãos a prostrar-nos em terra perante ti? 
Seus irmãos lhe tinham inveja, mas seu pai guardava o caso no coração. 
Foram seus irmãos apascentar o rebanho de seu pai em Siquém. 
Perguntou Israel a José: Não apascentam teus irmãos o rebanho em Siquém? vem, enviar-te-ei a eles. Respondeu-lhe José: Eis-me aqui. 
Disse-lhe Israel: Vai, vê se vão bem teus irmãos, e o rebanho; e traze-me notícias. Assim o enviou ao vale de Hebrom, e ele foi a Siquém. 
E um homem encontrou a José, que andava errante pelo campo, e perguntou-lhe: Que procuras? 
Respondeu ele: Procuro meus irmãos; dize-me onde apascentam eles o rebanho? 
Disse o homem: Foram-se daqui, porque ouvi-lhes dizer: Vamos a Dotã. José, pois, seguiu atrás de seus irmãos e achou-os em Dotã. 
Eles viram-no de longe e, antes que chegasse a eles, conspiraram contra ele para o matar. 
Diziam um ao outro: Eis que vem o tal sonhador! 
Vinde, agora, matemo-lo e lancemo-lo numa das covas, e diremos: Uma besta fera o devorou; e veremos que será dos seus sonhos. 
Mas ouvindo-o Rúben, livrou-o das mãos deles; e disse: Não lhe tiremos a vida. 
Também lhes disse Rúben: Não derrameis sangue. Lançai-o nesta cova que está no deserto, porém não ponhais mão sobre ele; isto disse, para o livrar das mãos deles, a fim de o restituir a seu pai. 
Logo que chegou José a seus irmãos, despiram-no da túnica, da túnica talar com mangas compridas que ele trazia; 
e, tomando-o, lançaram-no na cova: ora a cova estava vazia, não havia água nela. 
Então se assentaram para comer. Levantando os olhos, olharam, e eis que uma caravana de ismaelitas vinha de Gileade, trazendo os seus camelos tragacanta, mastique e labdano, que iam levar ao Egito. 
Disse Judá a seus irmãos: De que nos aproveita matar a nosso irmão e encobrir o seu sangue? 
Vinde, vendamo-lo aos ismaelitas, e não seja a nossa mão sobre ele, porque ele é nosso irmão, nossa carne. E escutaram-no seus irmãos. 
Passando uns negociantes midianitas, tiraram e alçaram da cova a José, e venderam-no aos ismaelitas, por vinte moedas de prata; estes o levaram ao Egito. 
Tendo Rúben voltado à cova, eis que José não estava na cova; então rasgou os seus vestidos. 
Voltou a seus irmãos e disse: O moço não aparece; e eu para onde irei? 
Então tomaram a túnica de José, mataram um bode e tingiram a túnica no sangue. 
Enviaram a túnica talar com mangas compridas e fizeram levá-la a seu pai e disseram: Achamos esta túnica; vê se é a túnica de teu filho ou não. 
Ele a reconheceu e disse: É a túnica de meu filho; uma besta fera o devorou, sem dúvida José foi despedaçado. 
Rasgou Jacó os seus vestidos, pôs saco sobre os seus lombos e lamentou seu filho muitos dias. 
Levantaram-se todos os seus filhos e todas as suas filhas para o consolarem, mas ele não quis ser consolado; e disse: Pois com choro hei de descer para meu filho ao Sheol. Assim o chorou seu pai. 
Os midianitas venderam José no Egito a Potifar, oficial de Faraó, capitão da guarda. 

Now Jacob was living in the land where his father had made a place for himself, in the land of Canaan. 
These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a boy seventeen years old, was looking after the flock, together with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph gave their father a bad account of them. 
Now the love which Israel had for Joseph was greater than his love for all his other children, because he got him when he was an old man: and he had a long coat made for him. 
And because his brothers saw that Joseph was dearer to his father than all the others, they were full of hate for him, and would not say a kind word to him. 
Now Joseph had a dream, and he gave his brothers an account of it, which made their hate greater than ever. 
And he said to them, Let me give you the story of my dream. 
We were in the field, getting the grain stems together, and my grain kept upright, and yours came round and went down on the earth before mine. 
And his brothers said to him, Are you to be our king? will you have authority over us? And because of his dream and his words, their hate for him became greater than ever. 
Then he had another dream, and gave his brothers an account of it, saying, I have had another dream: the sun and the moon and eleven stars gave honour to me. 
And he gave word of it to his father and his brothers; but his father protesting said, What sort of a dream is this? am I and your mother and your brothers to go down on our faces to the earth before you? 
And his brothers were full of envy; but his father kept his words in mind. 
Now his brothers went to keep watch over their father's flock in Shechem. 
And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers with the flock in Shechem? come, I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here am I. 
And he said to him, Go now, and see if your brothers are well and how the flock is; then come back and give me word. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem. 
And a man saw him wandering in the country, and said to him, What are you looking for? 
And he said, I am looking for my brothers; please give me word of where they are keeping their flock. 
And the man said, They have gone away from here, for they said in my hearing, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after them and came up with them at Dothan. 
But they saw him when he was a long way off, and before he came near them they made a secret design against him to put him to death; 
Saying to one another, See, here comes this dreamer. 
Let us now put him to death and put his body into one of these holes, and we will say, An evil beast has put him to death: then we will see what becomes of his dreams. 
But Reuben, hearing these words, got him out of their hands, saying, Let us not take his life. 
Do not put him to a violent death, but let him be placed in one of the holes; this he said to keep him safe from their hands, with the purpose of taking him back to his father again. 
So when Joseph came to his brothers, they took off his long coat which he had on; 
And they took him and put him in the hole: now the hole had no water in it. 
Then seating themselves, they took their meal: and looking up, they saw a travelling band of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead on their way to Egypt, with spices and perfumes on their camels. 
And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is there in putting our brother to death and covering up his blood? 
Let us give him to these Ishmaelites for a price, and let us not put violent hands on him, for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brothers gave ear to him. 
And some traders from Midian went by; so pulling Joseph up out of the hole, they gave him to the Ishmaelites for twenty bits of silver, and they took him to Egypt. 
Now when Reuben came back to the hole, Joseph was not there; and giving signs of grief, 
He went back to his brothers, and said, The child is gone; what am I to do? 
Then they took Joseph's coat, and put on it some of the blood from a young goat which they had put to death, 
And they took the coat to their father, and said, We came across this; is it your son's coat or not? 
And he saw that it was, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has put him to death; without doubt Joseph has come to a cruel end. 
Then Jacob, giving signs of grief, put on haircloth, and went on weeping for his son day after day. 
And all his sons and all his daughters came to give him comfort, but he would not be comforted, saying with weeping, I will go down to the underworld to my son. So great was his father's sorrow for him. 
And in Egypt the men of Midian gave him for a price to Potiphar, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house.
