Joseph was the favorite son of Jacob because he was the firstborn of Rachel, who was Jacob's favorite wife. Additionally, Joseph was favored due to his character traits, such as being described as a good shepherd and having dreams of future greatness. This favoritism caused jealousy among Joseph's brothers, leading to them selling him into slavery.
