Study 30 of
"Search The Scriptures” Is:
Genesis 37
1. What three things specially aroused the
envy and hatred of Joseph’s brothers against him? To what other sins did their envy lead them?
Cf. Jas. 3:16.
2. Can you approve of (a) Jacob’s possessive
love for Joseph, (b) his favouritism in his treatment of him, (c) the
unrelieved gloom to which the loss of Joseph led him? What ought we to learn
from such a story?
Note. Verse 3. ‘A long robe
with sleeves’: a garment of distinction, perhaps implying freedom from manual
toil. The ordinary tunic had no sleeves.
