Jacob, Joseph & Egypt

The sons of Dishan were 'Utz and Aran.

These were the chieftains descended from the Hori: the chieftains of Lotan, Shoval, Tziv'on, 'Anah,

Dishon, Etzer and Dishan. They were the chieftains descended from the Hori by their clans in Se'ir.

Following are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king had reigned over the people of Isra'el.

Bela the son of B'or reigned in Edom; the name of his city was Dinhavah.

When Bela died, Yovav the son of Zerach from Botzrah reigned in his place.

When Yovav died, Husham from the land of the Temani reigned in his place.

When Husham died, Hadad the son of B'dad, who killed Midyan in the field of Mo'av, reigned in his place; the name of his city was 'Avit.

When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.

When Samlah died, Sha'ul of Rechovot-by-the-River reigned in his place.

When Sha'ul died, Ba'al-Chanan the son of 'Akhbor reigned in his place.

When Ba'al-Chanan died, Hadar reigned in his place; the name of his city was Pa'u; and his wife's name was M'heitav'el the daughter of Matred the daughter of Mei-Zahav.

These are the names of the chieftains descended from 'Esav, according to their clans, places and names: the chieftains of Timna, 'Alvah, Y'tet,

Oholivamah, Elah, Pinon,

Kenaz, Teman, Mivtzar,

Magdi'el and 'Iram. These were the chieftains of Edom according to their settlements in the land they owned. This is 'Esav the father of Edom.

Ya'akov continued living in the land where his father had lived as a foreigner, the land of Kena'an.

Here is the history of Ya'akov. When Yosef was seventeen years old he used to pasture the flock with his brothers, even though he was still a boy. Once when he was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, he brought a bad report about them to their father.

Now Isra'el loved Yosef the most of all his children, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a long-sleeved robe.

When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they began to hate him and reached the point where they couldn't even talk with him in a civil manner.

Yosef had a dream which he told his brothers, and that made them hate him all the more.

He said to them, "Listen while I tell you about this dream of mine.

We were tying up bundles of wheat in the field when suddenly my bundle got up by itself and stood upright; then your bundles came, gathered around mine and prostrated themselves before it."

His brothers retorted, "Yes, you will certainly be our king. You'll do a great job of bossing us around!"And they hated him still more for his dreams and for what he said.

He had another dream which he told his brothers: "Here, I had another dream, and there were the sun, the moon and eleven stars prostrating themselves before me."
