3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was ch. 44:20the son of his old age. And he made him ver. 23, 32a robe of many colors.37:3 See Septuagint, Vulgate; or (with Syriac) a robe with long sleeves. The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain; also verses 23, 324 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.
28 Then ver. 36;Judg. 8:22,24Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and ch. 45:4;Ps. 105:17;Acts 7:9sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels37:28 A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.
