3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he wasGen. 44:20the son of his old age. Also he Gen. 37:23, 32; Judg. 5:30; 1 Sam. 2:19made him a tunic of many colors. 4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they Gen. 27:41; 49:23; 1 Sam. 17:28; John 15:18–20hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.
28 Then Gen. 37:25; Judg. 6:1–3; 8:22, 24Midianite traders passed by; so thebrothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, Gen. 45:4, 5; Ps. 105:17; Acts 7:9and sold him to the Ishmaelites for Matt. 27:9twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.
