--Genesis-- And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. (33:2) Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colours. (37:3) And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. (37:4) And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him. (37:35) Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. (48:22) --1 Chronicles-- For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him [came] the chief ruler; but the birthright [was] Joseph's:) (5:2) --John-- Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
