Um novo casaco para Joseph

Joseph sits beside his father as a richly striped garment is being sewn, the treasured coat taking shape within the family tent. An elderly Jacob watches with delight while the household work of spinning thread and stitching fabric gives visible form to his special love for his son. The colorful robe recalls Genesis 37, where Jacob gives Joseph an ornamented coat because he loved him deeply. In the biblical story, this gift becomes a sign of favor that exposes jealousy among Joseph’s brothers and begins the path that will lead him from Canaan to Egypt. The artwork is well suited for teaching Joseph’s early life, family favoritism, God’s providence, and Sunday school lessons on Genesis.
