These are the names of the dukes that came of Esau/ in their kynredds/ places and names: Duke Thimma/ duke Alua/ duke Ietheth duke Ahalibama/ duke Ela/ duke Pinon/ duke Kenas/ duke Theman/ duke Mibzar/ duke Magdiel/ duke Iram. These be the dukes of Edomea in their habitations/ in the lande of their possessions. This Esau is the father of the Edomytes.
And Iacob dwelt in the lande wherein his father was a straunger/ y^t is to saye in the lande of Canaan. And these are the generations of Iacob: when Ioseph was .xvij. yere olde/ he kepte shepe with his brethren/ and the lad was with the sonnes of Bilha & of Zilpha his fathers wyues. And he brought vnto their father an euyll saynge y^t was of them. 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.
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. Moreouer Ioseph dreamed a dreame and tolde it his brethren: wherfore they hated him yet the more. And he sayde vnto them heare I praye yow this dreame which I haue dreamed: Beholde we were makynge sheues in the felde: and loo/ my shefe arose and stode vp right/ and youres stode rounde aboute and made obeysaunce to my shefe. Than sayde his brethren vnto him: what/ shalt thou be oure kynge or shalt thou reigne ouer us? And they hated h[~i] yet the more/ because of his dreame and of his wordes.
And he dreamed yet another dreame & 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. 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? And his brethern hated him/ but his father noted the saynge.
His brethren went to kepe their fathers shepe in Sichem/ and Israell sayde vnto Ioseph: do not thy brethern kepe in Sichem? come that I may send y^e to th[~e]. And he answered here am I 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.
