Note at Genesis 37:1 - Life of Joseph detailed in 14 chapters, yet no single sin of his recorded, unlike everyone else, from Adam through Jacob (though Joseph was not sinless of course). In many ways Joseph pre-figures Jesus Christ, a so-called "type" of Christ.
Genesis 37:9 - And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Key to the "wonder" in Revelation 12. The woman of Rev. 12 is the nation Israel.
Note at Genesis 37:25 - Descendents of Ishmael practicing the lifestyle we know as the Arabs today.
Note at Genesis 37:28 - Midianites stood in close relations with the Ishmeelites, thus named together with them. Ishmael & Midian half-brothers, Genesis 25:1-2. Midian sent away from Isaac like Ishmael, Genesis 25:5-6.
Note at Genesis 37:35 - "Daughters" plural, though only one named so far. Others mentioned, named and unnamed in chapter 46. Women generally not prominent in Hebrew genealogies.
