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.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל

and,Israel

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) and Israel (verse 3) refer to the same person, not two separate people. For a note about this, see Gen 35:10. Alternate translation: “Now Jacob, whose other name was Israel,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

כִּֽי בֶן זְקֻנִ֥ים ה֖וּא ל֑⁠וֹ

that/for/because/then/when son_of old_age he/it to=him/it

For some languages it is more natural to put this clause first in this verse and say, “Now Joseph was born to Israel when he was old, so he/Israel loved him more than all the rest of his sons.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “because Joseph was born to him when he was old.”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

וְ⁠עָ֥שָׂה ל֖⁠וֹ כְּתֹ֥נֶת פַּסִּֽים

and,made to=him/it robe many_colours

The meaning of the Hebrew text 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”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

37:3 Jacob: Hebrew Israel; also in 37:13.
• Jacob loved Joseph more because Joseph had been born to him in his old age and because he was the first son of his favorite wife, Rachel.
• Jacob gave Joseph a beautiful robe to demonstrate that he intended to grant him the largest portion of the inheritance.
