Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. This is the history of Jacob.
Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.
Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. So he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”
So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
(NKJV)
Joseph Dreams of Greatness
37 Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
this is a historical note to help us understand that Isreal the man was continuing to dwell in the Land of Abraham and Isaac.
(NKJV)
2 This is the history of Jacob.
Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
Laterally understood at 17 Joseph was Shepherd over the flock.
this is a great opportunity for such a man of youth.
do you think that Joseph understood the opportunity that he had been given ?
how often have you not understood privileged or the opportunity that you have been given?
we don't ask these questions to make anyone feel guilty we ask these questions for reflection and and growth.
(NKJV)
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors.
favor can bring unintended hatred. pride and entitlement can as well.
as long as your side of the street is clean. you should never feel like you have to apologize for a favored relationship. although if you can elevate the suffering of another you should.
often times the basis of a relationship is miss read. (with me). the text says that Isreal loved him more because he was the son of His old age. did, because the text said it, its true, there are other factors at play here as well:
age brings wisdom.
age can bring refinement.

(NKJV)
4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.
