SEV Biblia, Chapter 37:33
Y él la conoció, y dijo: La ropa de mi hijo es; alguna mala bestia le devoró; José ha sido despedazado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 37:33
Verse 33. Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces!] It is likely he inferred this from the lacerated state of the coat, which, in order the better to cover their wickedness, they had not only besmeared with the blood of the goat, but it is probable reduced to tatters. And what must a father's heart have felt in such a case! As this coat is rent, so is the body of my beloved son rent in pieces! and Jacob rent his clothes.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-36 - When Satan has taught men to commit one sin, he teaches them to try to conceal it with another; to hide theft and murder, with lying and fals oaths: but he that covers his sin shall not prosper long. Joseph' brethren kept their own and one another's counsel for some time; but their villany came to light at last, and it is here published to the world. To grieve their father, they sent him Joseph's coat of colours and he hastily thought, on seeing the bloody coat, that Joseph was ren in pieces. Let those that know the heart of a parent, suppose the agon of poor Jacob. His sons basely pretended to comfort him, but miserable hypocritical comforters were they all. Had they really desired to comfort him, they might at once have done it, by telling the truth. The heart is strangely hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Jacob refuse to be comforted. Great affection to any creature prepares for so muc the greater affliction, when it is taken from us, or made bitter to us undue love commonly ends in undue grief. It is the wisdom of parent not to bring up children delicately, they know not to what hardship they may be brought before they die. From the whole of this chapter we see with wonder the ways of Providence. The malignant brothers seem to have gotten their ends; the merchants, who care not what they deal is so that they gain, have also obtained theirs; and Potiphar, having go a fine young slave, has obtained his! But God's designs are, by thes means, in train for execution. This event shall end in Israel's goin down to Egypt; that ends in their deliverance by Moses; that in settin up the true religion in the world; and that in the spread of it amon all nations by the gospel. Thus the wrath of man shall praise the Lord and the remainder thereof will he restrain __________________________________________________________________
