Joseph's Coat

By: Dr. Max D. Younce

 

0062b

 

 Question 

I have heard that Joseph’s coat of many colors referred to in Genesis 37 was not that at all. I know this is not a really important question.

 Answer 

This phrase appears in Genesis 37:3,23,32. The Hebrew here is "pac" and means "spread out, a coat spread out, i.e. a large coat". Probably something that resembled our overcoat. There is a Hebrew word, "piqmah" which means "variation of colors’, but it does not appear here; neither does the Hebrew "tala" meaning "spotted with colors".
