Joseph and Aseneth 25:5-7: And Naphtali and Asher said to Dan and Gad, "Why must you plot again against our father Israel and against our brother Joseph? For God looks after him as if he were the apple of his eye. Did you not once sell Joseph as a slave, and to-day he is king of the whole earth, and its saviour, and gives us corn? And now, if you make plots against him again, he will call upon the God of Israel, and he will send fire from heaven, and it will burn you up, and the angels of God will fight against you."
In the apocryphal Testaments of the Patriarchs, Dan is portrayed as having hated Joseph and having been the one that invented the idea of deceiving Jacob by the smearing of Joseph’s coat with the blood of a kid; in the apocryphal Prayer of Asenath, Dan is portrayed as plotting with the Egyptian crown prince against Joseph and Asenath.
Joseph and Aseneth 24:2: And his servants whispered in his ear, "Lo, the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, the maidservants of Leah and Rachel, Jacob’s wives, hate Joseph and Aseneth and are jealous of them, and they will do what you want."
Joseph and Aseneth 24:16: And Dan and Gad said to him, "We will go by night and lie in wait at the brook and hide in the woods on the banks."
