BRIEF COMMENTARY ON THE LESSONS
Lesson 1: Genesis 37:1--4, 12--28 (C)
Joseph, who was given a long robe with sleeves as a sign of his father's favor, was deeply resented by his brothers. One day, Jacob sent Joseph out in the field to find his brothers and they seized the opportunity to get rid of him. They sold him to a caravan and informed their father that he had been killed by a wild beast.
