3 And Israel he loved Joseph more than all sons his for [was] a son of old age he for him and he made for him a long garment of palms and soles.
And Israel loued Ioseph more than all his childern because he begat hym in his olde age and he made him a coote of many coloures.
4 And they saw brothers his that him he loved father their more than all brothers his and they hated him and not they were able to speak to him to welfare.
When his brothren sawe that their father loued him more than all his brethern they hated him and coude not speke one kynde worde vnto him.
5 And he dreamed Joseph a dream and he told [it] to brothers his and they increased again to hate him.
Moreouer Ioseph dreamed a dreawe and tolde it his brethren: wherfore they hated him yet the more.
6 And he said to them hear please the dream this which I have dreamed.
And he sayde vnto them heare I praye yow this dreame which I haue dreamed:
7 And there! we [were] binding sheaves in [the] middle of the field and there! it arose sheaf my and also it stood upright and there! they gathered round sheaves your and they bowed down to sheaf my.
Beholde we were makynge sheues in the felde: and loo my shefe arose and stode vpright and youres stode rounde aboute and made obeysaunce to my shefe.
8 And they said to him brothers his ¿ really will you reign over us or? certainly will you rule over us and they increased again to hate him on dreams his and on words his.
Than sayde his brethren vnto him: what shalt thou be oure kynge or shalt thou reigne ouer us? And they hated hi yet the more because of his dreame and of his wordes.
9 And he dreamed again a dream another and he recounted it to brothers his and he said here! I have dreamed a dream again and there! the sun and the moon and one [plus] ten stars [were] bowing down to me.
And he dreamed yet another dreame and told it his brethren saynge: beholde I haue had one dreame more: me thought the sonne and the moone and. xi. starres made obaysaunce to me.
10 And he recounted [it] to father his and to brothers his and he rebuked him father his and he said to him what? [is] the dream this which you have dreamed ¿ really will we come I and mother your and brothers your to bow down to you [the] ground towards.
And when he had told it vnto his father and his brethern his father rebuked him and sayde vnto him: what meaneth this dreame which thou hast dreamed: shall I and thy mother and thy brethren come and fall on the grounde before the?
11 And they were jealous of him brothers his and father his he kept the matter.
And his brethern hated him but his father noted the saynge.
12 And they went brothers his to pasture [the] flock of father their at Shechem.
His brethren went to kepe their fathers shepe in Sichem
13 And he said Israel to Joseph ¿ not [are] brothers your pasturing at Shechem come! and I will send you to them and he said to him here [am] I.
and Israell sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethern kepe in Sichem? come that I may send ye to the. And he answered here am I
14 And he said to him go please see [the] welfare of brothers your and [the] welfare of the flock and bring to me word and he sent him from [the] valley of Hebron and he came Shechem towards.
And he sayde vnto him: goo and see whether it be well with thy brethren and the shepe and brynge me worde agayne: And sent him out of the vale of Hebron for to go to Sichem.

And a certayne man founde him wandrynge out of his waye in the felde ad axed him what he soughte.
16 And he said brothers my I [am] seeking tell! please to me where? [are] they pasturing.
And he answered: I seke my brethren tell me I praye the where they kepe shepe
17 And he said the man they have departed from here for I heard [them] saying let us go Dothan towards and he went Joseph after brothers his and he found them at Dothan.
And the man sayde they are departed hece for I herde them say let vs goo vnto Dothan. Thus went Ioseph after his brethren and founde them in Dothan.

And whe they sawe him a farr of before he came at them they toke councell agaynst him for to sley him
19 And they said each to brother his there! [the] master of dreams this [is] coming.
and sayde one to another Beholde this dreamer cometh

30 And he returned to brothers his and he said the boy not [is] he and I where? [am] I going.
and went agayne vnto his brethern saynge: the lad is not yonder and whether shall I goo?
