Explore "The Story of Joseph" by Catharine Shaw on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
You have often heard of Joseph's coat of many colours, and of his being sold by his brothers into Egypt.
So I am going to tell you a little about him, and then you will understand how he came to have that beautiful coat. I have read that generally the eldest son was given a bright coloured, beautifully-worked coat; but Joseph was the eleventh son, and Jacob, his father, gave him that pretty coat because he loved him so very much.
