Joseph came to his brothers. They attacked him and tore off his long and beautiful coat.
Joseph was born at a time when his father Israel (Jacob) was very old. So Israel (Jacob) loved Joseph more than he loved his other sons. Jacob gave his son a special coat. This coat was long and was very beautiful. [225]
Then the brothers showed the coat to their father. And the brothers said, “We found this coat. Is this Joseph’s coat?”
I let one son go away, and he was killed by a wild animal. And I haven’t seen him since.
The brothers told him, “Father, Joseph is still alive! And he is the governor over the whole country of Egypt.”
A person that hides his sins will not be successful. But a person that confesses his sins and stops doing wrong will receive mercy.
