Joseph was Jacob's best loved and most tried son. Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. This chapter opens a long scene of suffering.
Genesis 37:2-4 His piety led him to protest against the wrongdoing of his brethren. He would not join them in evil, nor aid them by concealing their evil deeds.
Genesis 37:9-11 Whom God favours the ungodly are sure to dislike. The evil hate the righteous.
Genesis 37:34-35 This was a very painful transaction, but let us. not forget that the Lord overruled it for the highest good.
Crosses and changes are their lot, Long as they sojourn here; But since their Saviour changes not, What have his saints to fear?
