Joseph, the son of Jacob, was deeply loved and favored by his father, who gifted him a tunic of many colors, a unique symbol of distinction among his siblings. This tunic, as described in Genesis 37:3, marked Joseph as special in Jacob's eyes, being the son of his old age and of Rachel, his beloved wife. However, this favor stirred hatred in his brothers, intensifying their resentment. In Genesis 37:23, when Joseph approached his brothers, they stripped him of this tunic of many colors, an act of scorn and rejection, before casting him into a pit. This moment of being stripped of his tunic parallels the profound humiliation and loss Joseph endured at the hands of those closest to him, highlighting the depth of familial discord and envy within Jacob's household.
