Genesis 37:34-36

The Voice

³⁴ Then Jacob wailed in agony and tore his clothes with the depth of emotional pain only a father could feel upon losing a child. He dressed in sackcloth and mourned his son for a long time. ³⁵ All of his sons and daughters tried to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted.

This is how deeply Joseph’s father grieved for him. ³⁶ Meanwhile, the Midianites arrived in Egypt and sold Joseph to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officers and the captain of the guard.
