Génesis 37:23 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 37:23

And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren,
&c.] To the very place where they were, and had, in a kind and obliging manner, asked of their welfare, and related their father's concern for them, who had sent him on this errand:

that they stripped, Joseph out of [his] coat; his coat of [many]
colours, that [was] on him;
according to Jarchi and Aben Ezra, this was not one and the same coat, but divers, and that the sense is, that with his coat of many colours, and besides that, they stripped him of his lower garment, which was next to his skin, his shirt; so that he was quite naked when they cast him into the pit, and this they did as soon as he came up to them, so cruel and hardhearted were they.

Génesis 37:23 In-Context

21 Pero cuando Rubén oyó el plan, trató de salvar a José.
—No lo matemos —dijo—.

22 ¿Para qué derramar sangre? Solo tirémoslo en esta cisterna vacía, aquí en el desierto. Entonces morirá sin que le pongamos una mano encima.
Rubén tenía pensado rescatar a José y devolverlo a su padre.

23 Entonces, cuando llegó José, sus hermanos le quitaron la hermosa túnica que llevaba puesta.

24 Después lo agarraron y lo tiraron en la cisterna. Resulta que la cisterna estaba vacía; no tenía nada de agua adentro.

25 Luego, justo cuando se sentaron a comer, levantaron la vista y vieron a la distancia una caravana de camellos que venía acercándose. Era un grupo de mercaderes ismaelitas que transportaban goma de resina, bálsamo y resinas aromáticas desde Galaad hasta Egipto.
