OET (OET-RV) Now Yisra’el loved Yosef more than all of his other sons because he was born to him when he was already old, so he made a multicoloured robe for him.

This verse introduces background information for the events that happen next. Consider what is the best way to begin this sentence in your language. Make sure it is clear in your translation or in a footnote that Jacob ([verse 1](../37/01.md)) and Israel ([verse 3](../37/03.md)) refer to the same person, not two separate people. For a note about this, see [35:10](../35/10.md). Alternate translation: [Now Jacob, whose other name was Israel]

In certain contexts, biblical authors and characters use the common expression of their culture son of to indicate that a person has the characteristic of something. In this case, Joseph has the characteristic of being a son born to Israel late in life, in his old age. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [because Joseph was born to Israel in his later years]

The meaning of the Hebrew text translated as multicolored tunic is not certain here. Many translations (including the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate) say that the tunic or robe was multicolored or “colorful.” This tunic was probably full-length to the ankles and had long sleeves that reached to the hands. Alternate translation: [So he made a beautiful tunic for him that had many colors] or [So he made a special colorful robe for him]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
