Jacob, Joseph & Egypt

And Dison had sons: Hus and Aram.

These were dukes of the Horrites: duke Lotan, duke Sobal, duke Sebeon, duke Ana,

Duke Dison, duke Eser, duke Disan: these were dukes of the Horrites that ruled in the land of Seir.

And the kings that ruled in the land of Edom, before the children of Israel had a king, were these:

Bela the son of Beor, and the name of his city Denaba.

And Bela died, and Jobab, the son of Zara, of Bosra, reigned in his stead.

And when Jobab was dead, Husam, of the land of the Themanites, reigned in his stead.

And after his death, Adad, the son of Badad, reigned in his stead, who defeated the Madianites in the country of Boab; and the name of his city was Avith.

And when Adad was dead, there reigned in his stead, Semla, of Masreca.

And he being dead, Saul, of the river Rohoboth, reigned in his stead.

And when he also was dead, Balanan, the son of Achobor, succeeded to the kingdom.

This man also being dead, Adar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Phau: and his wife was called Meetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezaab.

And these are the names of the dukes of Esau in their kindreds, and places, and callings: duke Thamna, duke Alva, duke Jetheth,

Duke Oolibama, duke Ela, duke Phinon,

Duke Cenez, duke Theman, duke Mabsar,

Duke Magdiel, duke Hiram: these are the dukes of Edom dwelling in the land of their government; the same is Esau, the father of the Edomites.

And Jacob dwelt in the land of Chanaan, wherein his father sojourned.

And these are his generations: Joseph, when he was sixteen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren, being but a boy: and he was with the sons of Bala and of Zelpha his father's wives: and he accused his brethren to his father of a most wicked crime.

Now Israel loved Joseph above all his sons, because he had him in his old age: and he made him a coat of divers colours.

And his brethren seeing that he was loved by his father, more than all his sons, hated hem, and could not speak peaceably to him.

Now it fell out also that he told his brethren a dream, that he had dreamed: which occasioned them to hate him the more.

And he said to them: Hear my dream which I dreamed.

I thought we were binding sheaves in the field: and my sheaf arose as it were, and stood, and your sheaves standing about bowed down before my sheaf.

His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? or shall we be subject to thy dominion? Therefore this matter of his dreams and words ministered nourishment to their envy and hatred.

He dreamed also another dream, which he told his brethren, saying: I saw in a dream, as it were the sun, and the moon, and eleven stars worshipping me.
