Jacob and Joseph
The relationship between Jacob and Joseph was a special one. The affection which Jacob had given in turn to his mother Rebekah, and his wife Rachel, he now transferred to Rachel's eldest son, Joseph. The boy was his father's favorite within the household. However, Joseph's brothers resented the way he was preferred over them; they feared to lose their share in the inheritance of Jacob's wealth. And the older ones must have feared also that the divine birthright and blessings would be passed over them to Joseph. With the innocence of youth, however, Joseph thought nothing of this. When he found some of his brothers doing evil, he reported the matter indignantly to his father, and so increased their enmity.
Jacob and Joseph were to be separated for many years, but they would eventually be reunited some time before Jacob's death. When Jacob died, Joseph went up into Palestine with all his brothers and buried their father in the family cave at Hebron.
