2 Ðây là chuyện dòng dõi của Gia-cốp. Giô-sép, tuổi mười bảy, chăn chiên với các anh mình; người đi kết bạn cùng con trai Bi-la và con Xinh-ba, hai vợ cha mình. Giô-sép thuật lại với cha các chuyện xấu của họ nói.

4774. 'Recognize now whether this is your son's tunic or not' means whether there was any likeness. This is clear from the meaning of 'recognize whether this is' as whether it is like. These words are closely connected with the ones that come both before them and after them. That is to say, they relate to the comparison that was brought about of falsified goods and truths with the genuine goods and truths of the Church, meant by the statement that they brought the tunic which had been dipped in blood to their father, 4772. This explains why 'recognize now whether this is your son's tunic' means that a comparison should be made to see whether it was like, that is, whether there was any likeness.
