We have finally come to book 10 of Genesis – the final narrative in this book of beginnings.
The story of Jacob featured rocks. The story of Joseph features robes. If you look at what Joseph is wearing, you can probably figure out what is going on!
But while Joseph remains the subject of the narrative, we do not get to hear much of what he is thinking. We hear about how his father loves him. We hear about how his brothers hate him. We hear of their scheming and plotting – we even hear that Reuben wanted to rescue him.
But in all this, we never hear what Joseph thinks.
Some people are convinced that Joseph was a self-centered little prig. Others disagree. But the text simply doesn't tell us!
What it does tell us is that “the many-colored robe” is the means that God uses to bring salvation to Israel – and to the nations.
The key to the story of Joseph is to follow the robe!
