Thematic Bible: His partiality for his son, joseph, and the consequent jealousy of his other sons

And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for he is a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long coat; and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been able to speak to him peaceably.
