New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Genesis 36
⁴² chief Kenaz, chief Teman, chief Mibzar,
⁴³ chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of the Edomites), according to their habitations in the land of their possession.
Genesis 37
¹ Now Jacob lived in the land where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
² These are the records of the generations of Jacob. Joseph, when seventeen years of age, was pasturing the flock with his brothers while he was still a youth, along with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought back a bad report about them to their father.
³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he made him a varicolored tunic.
⁴ His brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers; and so they hated him and could not speak to him on friendly terms.
⁵ Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.
⁶ He said to them, "Please listen to this dream which I have had;
⁷ for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf."
⁸ Then his brothers said to him, "Are you actually going to reign over us? Or are you really going to rule over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
⁹ Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, "Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."
