Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 37:2
"These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren. And he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father.""These are the generations of Jacob ..." The word here is the great divisional marker in Genesis, [~toledowth], invariably denoting what follows, not that which precedes. This tenth and final division of Genesis "covers the period of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 37:3
"Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors."Some of the later versions read "coat of many colors" as "a long sleeved coat," but it is admitted by all that the text here is difficult and that no one really knows what is meant, except, that is, the only important thing, namely, that it was a distinctive, special garment designed to endow the wearer with special attention and favor. That part is clear enough.... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 37:4
"And his brothers saw that his father loved him more than all his brethren; and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.""It was the partiality of Jacob toward Joseph that made his brothers hate him."[11] The additional factor of Joseph's talebearing was not mentioned by Keil, but there is no way this could not have been an additional factor. The immaturity and lack of discernment on Joseph's part are also visible. He evidently enjoyed the distinction placed upon him, as... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 37:5-8
" And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it to his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves came round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. And his brethren said unto him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Genesis 37:9-11
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet another dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me. And he told it to his father, and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? And his brethren envied him; but his father kept the saying in... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 37:2
Genesis 37:2. These are the generations of Jacob— i.e.. These are the things which befel Jacob, the transactions of him and his family. As nothing is here said of genealogy, or beget-ting children, it is plain that the original word here, as in some other passages of Scripture, should be rendered the history. Two reasons are generally assigned, why Moses is more full in relating the adventures of Joseph, than of any other of Jacob's children. The one, because his life is a bright example of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 37:3
Genesis 37:3. Son of his old age— We find Benjamin too was particularly beloved by Jacob; but he was not yet grown up to give proofs of superior piety and virtue, as Joseph had done. Jacob was about ninety years old, when Joseph was born. Onkelos renders it, because he was a wise son to him, taking old age for the prudence of old age. Josephus assigns the same reason; and several of the versions concur. A coat of many colours— As a token of his affection and superior regard to Joseph, Jacob... read more
