Genesi 37:31 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 37:31

And they took Joseph's coat
After they had told Reuben what they had done with him, who being willing to make the best of things as it was, joined with them in the following scheme: by this it appears, that when they took Joseph out of the pit they did not put his coat on him, but sold him naked, or almost so, to the merchants: and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
that being, as the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi observe, most like to human blood.

29 Or Ruben tornò alla fossa, ed ecco, Giuseppe non v’era più; ed egli stracciò i suoi vestimenti.
30 E tornò a’ suoi fratelli, e disse: Il fanciullo non si trova; ed io, dove andrò io?
31 Ed essi presero la giubba di Giuseppe; e scannarono un becco, e tinsero quella col sangue.
32 E mandarono a portar quella giubba vergata al padre loro, ed a dirgli: Noi abbiam trovata questa giubba: riconosci ora se è la giubba del tuo figliuolo, o no.
33 Ed egli la riconobbe, e disse: Questa è la giubba del mio figliuolo; una mala bestia l’ha divorato; Giuseppe per certo è stato lacerato.
