Jacob Recognizing the Robe of His Son Joseph

Artist: Jean-Jacques Forty

Book of Genesis, 37:31-33. "Then they took Joseph's robe, and killed a goat, and dipped the robe in the blood; and they sent the long robe with sleeves and brought it to their father and said, 'This we have found; see now whether it is your son's robe or not.' And he recognized it, and said, 'It is my son's robe; a wild beast has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces.'"
