• Joseph and His Brothers Aug 15, 2025

  

  In the land of Canaan, where the great patriarch Jacob—whom God had renamed Israel—lived with his large family, there was born a son who would become one of the most remarkable figures in all of Scripture. This was Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, but the first son born to his beloved wife Rachel.

  Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because Joseph had been born to him in his old age and was the child of his most cherished wife. This favoritism was no secret in the household—Jacob made it obvious in many ways, but most notably by giving Joseph a special robe that marked him as favored above his brothers.
