Fun fact. Joseph's coat of many colors is more accurately translated as a coat with long sleeves. That likely references an outfit made from a mother's bridal gown and passed to the daughter.

That is: Joseph was an effiminate youngest child who didn't do men's work and wore women's clothing. He was also persecuted by his brothers for it.

He also ended up being the de facto ruler of Egypt and savior of the Jewish people.
