TSNTyndale Study Notes:

37:23 The recurring motif of changed clothes signifies changes in status, position, and authority (see 37:3, 23; 38:14, 19; 39:15-18; 41:14, 42).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

וַֽ⁠יְהִ֕י כַּֽ⁠אֲשֶׁר בָּ֥א יוֹסֵ֖ף אֶל אֶחָ֑י⁠ו

and=he/it_was just=as he/it_came Yōşēf/(Joseph) to/towards brothers,his

As usual, the phrase Then it happened introduces and emphasizes an important set of events. Many translations leave it implied. Do what is natural in your language.

וַ⁠יַּפְשִׁ֤יטוּ אֶת יוֹסֵף֙ אֶת כֻּתָּנְתּ֔⁠וֹ אֶת כְּתֹ֥נֶת הַ⁠פַּסִּ֖ים

and,stripped DOM Yōşēf/(Joseph) DOM robe,his DOM robe the,many_colors

See how you translated multicolored tunic in verse 3. Alternate translation: “they grabbed hold of him and tore off his colorful robe”

אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָלָֽי⁠ו

which/who on/upon/above=him/it

Alternate translation: “he had on.”
