³¹ And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a he-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood;

²³ 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;

³ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.

¹³ He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.
