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 Cuando Rubén escuchó esto, intentó librarlo de las garras de sus hermanos, así que les propuso:—No lo matemos.

22 No derramen sangre. Arrójenlo en esta cisterna en el desierto, pero no le pongan la mano encima.Rubén dijo esto porque su intención era rescatar a José y devolverlo a su padre.

23 Cuando José llegó adonde estaban sus hermanos, le arrancaron la túnica muy elegante,

24 lo agarraron y lo echaron en una cisterna que estaba vacía y seca.

25 Luego se sentaron a comer. En eso, al levantar la vista, divisaron una caravana de ismaelitas que venía de Galaad. Sus camellos estaban cargados de perfumes, bálsamo y mirra, que llevaban a Egipto.
