In our “Grand Narrative” journey with Jacob we come to Genesis 37 where we discover sibling rivalry has reached a boiling point with Joseph and some of his stepbrothers. While all the brothers shared Jacob as their father, they were from four different mothers! Joseph and Benjamin from Rachel, all the other stepbrothers from Leah, Bilhah and Zilpah. They all lived together with Jacob, their father, on one big homestead, yet in tent clusters which separated them as families with their mother. Can you envision this family arrangement and how it fed sibling rivalry?
