(Leviticus 16:8-10)-------- Early childhood educators say that one does not really understand language until puns, word-play and riddles are understood. So approaching Ge 37 as a little child: :[[Ge 37:2]] These [are] the generations of Jacob. Joseph, [being] seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad [was] with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. :Joseph = Jesus:7 = complete:10 = Messiah:feeding = teaching:flock = Ihis people:brethren = Jesus was incarnate, hence a brother:Bilhah = troubled:Zilpah = trickle (as opposed to flowing) When Jesus came of age as the Messiah he was teaching his people with his brethren and was with those who were trouble and anly had a little teaching of the word. :[[Ge 37:3]] 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. :Israel = the Father:Joseph = Jesus:old age = ancient (eternity):coat = works:colors = palms, parts, widths (of distinction)פ}}}}
