Joseph's dad, Jacob, favored him because he was the son of his beloved wife, Rachel, and was born to him in his old age. This favoritism was symbolized by the special coat he gave Joseph, which heightened tensions among his brothers. Jacob's preferential treatment ultimately led to jealousy and conflict within the family, contributing to the events that unfolded in Joseph's life.
