  1  Joseph is loved by Jacob, but hated by his brethren.
 5  His dreams and the interpretation.
12  Jacob sends him to his brethren, who counsel to slay him.
21  At Reuben's desire they cast him into a pit;
25  and afterwards sell him to the Ishmaelites; while Ruben
    grieves at not finding him.
31  His coat, covered with blood, is sent to Jacob, who mourns
    him inordinately.
36  Joseph is brought to Egypt and sold to Potiphar.


VERSE 1
- A.M. 2276.  B.C. 1728.
- wherein his father was a stranger.  Heb. of his father's
  sojournings.
   * Ge 17:8; 23:4; 28:4 *marg:
   * Ge 36:7 Heb 11:9-16


VERSE 2 
 - the generations.
  {Toledoth,} the history, narrative, or account of the lives
  and actions of Jacob and his sons; for in this general sense
  the original must be taken, as in the whole pursuing history
  there is no genealogy of Jacob's family.

   * Ge 2:4; 5:1; 6:9; 10:1
- wives.
   * Ge 30:4,9; 35:22,25,26
- evil report.

  {Kethoneth passim}, a coat made of stripes of different
  colored cloth.


VERSE 4 
 - hated him.

   * Joh 7:3-5; 15:18,19 Tit 3:3 1Jo 2:11; 3:10,12; 4:20
- and could not speak peaceably unto him.
  Or, rather, "and they could not speak peace to him," i.e.,
  they would not accost him in a friendly manner:  they would
  not even wish him well, in the eastern mode of salutation of,
  Peace be to thee!  It is not an unusual thing for an Arab or
  Turk to hesitate to return the {salƒm}, if given by a
  Christian, or by one of whom he has not a favorable opinion;
  and this may always be considered as an act of hostility.

   * Ge 31:21; 43:11 Jer 8:22
- spicery.
  {Nechoth,} is rendered by the LXX. "incense;" Syriac,
  "resin;" Samaritan, "balsam;"  Acquila, "storax;" which is
  followed by Bochart.  This drug is abundant in Syria, and
  here Moses joins with it resin, honey, and myrrh; which
  agrees with the nature of the storax, which is the resin of a
  tree of the same name, of a reddish color, and peculiarly
  pleasant fragrance.

- balm
  {Tzeri,} which in Arabic, as a verb, is to flow, seems to be
  a common name, as balm or balsam with us, for many of those
  oily, resinous substances, which flow spontaneously, or by
  incision, from various trees or plants; accordingly the
  ancients have generally interpreted it resin.

- myrrh.
  {Lot,} is probably, as Junius, De Dieu, Celsius, and Ursinus
  contend, the same as the Arabic {ladan}, Greek [ladanon,] and
  Latin {ladanum}.
