So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the robe of many colors he was wearing—When Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him;And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him;

… Somebody needs to rip up the list. Joseph now gets sold into slavery in Genesis 37 verse 23 and literally it says so when When Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped. That's crazy. His brothers ripped off the beautiful robe. This was a metaphoric sign of what was happening to any list that he thought. That Bible will preach itself. You hear what I'm saying to you? They literally ripped off the path that he thought he was going to be, the thing that represented his favor. It said, his brothers ripped off the beautiful robe he was wearing. Then they grabbed him and threw him into the pit. Put it back up there. I like that up there, because somebody's seeing it right now. They ripped it off and they threw him in the pit. So when the Ishmaelites, who were Midianite traders, came by, Joseph's brothers, verse 28, go to verse 28. It said, they pulled them out of the cistern. Now this messes me up every time. I don't have enough time to do this, but he gets thrown in by people and then a few hours later those same people come and they act like they're helping him out. …
… 23 and following. So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe. It's a little extreme. The ornate robe he was wearing, and they took him and threw him into the cistern. I mean, some of you right now have been pushed into the pit of betrayal for no reason. You could say it's unfair. Why me, God? You've been pushed into the pit. Joseph was just walking along and his brothers, as you keep reading the text, they were thinking about killing him. Yeah, I don't like him. Let's just kill him. That's a Netflix special, isn't it? Cooler has prevailed. They stripped him of his robe, told his dad that a wild animal had eaten him because they, you know, dripped blood on it and all this. And the Bible says they were eating chipotle or kava at the mouth of this pit, just looking down at Joseph. And finally they go, you know what, let's don't kill him. I mean, they're talking about it just casually. …
… Remember that. Genesis 37, verses 23 and 24. So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe. That was his identity, right? This Gucci robe. I mean, that was supposed to be reserved for the firstborn. That was supposed to be for the firstborn as he received a double inheritance. But Jacob, the cheater, went around that system and gave the robe to Joseph. And Joseph, I mean, was like putting it in their face. Come on, man, you can't do that. But naively, he did. So he came to his brothers. He stripped him of his robe. of the richly ornamented robe he was wearing, and they took him and threw him, ah, into the cistern. Now the cistern was empty. There was no water in it. Let me tell you something. The pit of betrayal is dry. It's dark. It's dank. You just want to look down and around. And then you begin to pull in your friends down into the pit, and you share with them all the negative stuff about how you were betrayed. …
