CHAP. 37.

When the Text hath dispatched with Esau the hater of his brother that lost his birth-right by his own fault, it falleth upon Joseph the hated of his brethren, that obtained the birth-right by the fault of another. He feeding the flocks with his brethren joyneth in company with the sons of the handmaids, for Leahs children cared little either for them or him. Among them where he thought to have respect, he found hardship, for they made him as their slave or servant, Vehu nagnar, and he was a servant with the sons of Bilhah and Zilphah, vers. 2. This evil report of his brethrens usage of him he told his father, whereupon he made him a coat of divers colours as a badge of the birth-right which his fa∣ther intended to confer upon him, that his brethren for this should respect him the more. But this procureth their greater hatred, Reuben only excepted who sought his good though he had gotten his birth-right, which sheweth that the incestuous man was now become a penitent and holy.
