Standing On the Rock Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 A1. Perhaps it was a plea for attention from their father. Maybe they are saying Joseph is no more, but father we are here, pay us attention and find favor with us. Perhaps they felt as though they would never get their father Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delivered Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Q1. (Genesis 37:31-35) What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons' attitude toward their father? In general I cannot speak of what their attitude toward their father was, but, what speaks to me is seen in their attitude, it is the result of what hatred and jealousy does to a person, the results were that of indifference, no matter who it was directed to. How does this loss affect Jacob? Love is a strong emotion, grief and loss filled Jacob's being, comfort could not be received, could not replace the great grief Jacob felt at the lose of his son Joseph.

linda bass Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Bringing the blood stained robe to Jacob,showed a callous attitude. The sons either didn't bother to think how this would affect their father or they just didn't care. Jacob goes into deep grief at the loss of Joseph. He continually mourns for Joseph,refusing to be comforted. This affects Jacob's future behavior,when later he refuses to allow Benjamin to go back to Egypt with his brothers in order to release Simeon from prison. He would selfishly allow Simeon to remain imprisoned in Egypt,rather allow Benjamin to go in order to secure Simeon's release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royk Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Q1. (Genesis 37:31-35) What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons’ attitude toward their father? How does this loss affect Jacob? How do you think it affects his future behavior? Lies and tricks are part of the family heritage for Jacob and his sons. Perhaps his sons had heard about this when they were all coming back and had to confront Esau? Jacob was faithful, but he was not wise about his son Joseph's robe of many colors and the way he doted upon him, this only encouraged joseph to communicate in un-humble ways. It was all part of God's perfect plan. We can't understand it but we know that good comes for those who wait on the Lord. Jacob waited but his attitude was protective regarding Benjamin, even paranoid about it, his only remaining joy in life. Clearly the deceptive brothers hated Joseph more than they loved their father. Jacob owuld never be the same, from these two deaths, his wife and favorite son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob was an indication that his sons failed to consider his feelings - either they didn't realize the affect this would have upon him - or they didn't care - either way, they were extremely insensitive to thier father... Jacob became grief stricken and somewhat depressed which prevented him from functioning rationally for many yeras. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wifee Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 6a)They were more intent on wanting Jacob to thinkJoseph had died,rather than him thinking he may return one day.They were resentful of Joseph&showed little compassion for their fathers feelings. B)Jacob is distraught,his grief was unconsolable. C)Jacob finds only comfort in life of Benjamin as he is now only connection Rachel,his late wife.

Old Jerry Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I think that bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob says that they really didn’t like how their father favored Joseph over them. This might have been a way at getting back at him. This loss had capped off all the grieving that he has had in the past years over his wife and his parents. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. This was also going to make him very cautious about what he does with his other children.

Ms. Green Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Q1. (Genesis 37:31-35) What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons� attitude toward their father? How does this loss affect Jacob? How do you think it affects his future behavior? What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons� attitude toward their father? They did not like their father's relationship with Joseph and they were jealous enough to try to convince him that Joseph was killed. How does this loss affect Jacob? He was devastated as described in Genesis 37:34-35, "Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days. All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. �No,� he said, �in mourning will I go down to the grave to my son.� So his father wept for him." How do you think it affects his future behavior? Jacob shows favoritism toward Benjamin. In Genesis 42:38, "Jacob said, "My son (Benjamin) will not go down there with you; his brother is dead and he is the only one left. If harm comes to him on the journey you are taking, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in sorrow." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D H, I l Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 On 11/15/2009 at 8:40 AM, Pastor Ralph said: Q1. (Genesis 37:31-35) What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons Joseph's sons are just as adept ar deception as their father, quite possibly more so. Their hearts have been bitter and cold for years. They did not suddenly arrive at this decision to eliminate Joseph. They have nursed their resentment, nurtured it over the years. And now, they harvest the fruit of murder in their hearts. Theses sons have known and prospered in the ways of God, and yet their hearts are far from Him.

Irmela Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Q1. (Genesis 37:31-35) What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons' attitude toward their father? How does this loss affect Jacob? How do you think it affects his future behavior? The sons did not bring the tunic to their father but they sent it to him for him to identify. In actual fact they were making out as if they were surprised to find this robe there, as Joseph was not with them. The question they showed to have was, "Was he maybe on his way to them and then . . . the inevitable happened." So the question posed was could it be Joseph's tunic? From their questioning also trying to show surprise that the tunic was there. Even posing doubt that it was maybe just similar and not the same. (deceit par excellence) The sons in part, either did not fathom how deeply cutup their father would be, or they were just very hardened men and really did not care two hoots about their father. Maybe they hoped that in his grieving he would turn to them. They were no longer adolescents but men with households of their own. Whatever their thinking was it was harsh treatment of an old man who was already grieving the loss of his parents, his wife whom he had loved deeply and was trying to cope with handling a small child, Benjamin, who was being brought up without his mother (possibly still a toddler at this time). Jacob is inconsolable. He remains in mourning. I guess his life twirls around Benjamin more and more. Also his behaviour is irrational and overprotective, where Benjamin is concerned. In a way it is hard to fathom as, twenty odd yrs later when they do go to Egypt for grain, the whole group is still together and await Jacob's decision as to what to do. Yet in the interim the brothers are all married and have families of their own. Then we have Judah's story, who also experiences loss. They all possibly do in some measure and then remorse does come. But to cover their despicable deed they dare not bring the possibility into the open, that Joseph could in fact still be alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
