3 Israel37:3. "Israel," that is, Jacob. loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him when he was already old. He made a colorful robe with long sleeves for Joseph. 4 When his brothers noticed that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and had nothing good to say about him.
28 So when the Ishmaelites (who were traders from Midian)37:28. The text sometimes refers to them as Ishmaelites and sometimes as Midianites but are clearly one and the same group. Also verse 36. came by, they pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him to them for twenty pieces of silver. The Ishmaelites took him to Egypt.
