📚 Historical Context
In the biblical narrative of Genesis, Joseph was the favored son of Jacob, who gave him a special coat of many colors as a symbol of his affection, which provoked deep jealousy among his older brothers. When Joseph traveled to the fields to check on his brothers who were tending the flocks, they saw him coming and decided to act on their resentment. This moment of stripping his coat was part of a larger plot that led to Joseph being sold into slavery, ultimately shaping his destiny in Egypt.
