37:2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
“Joseph”
While it is nowhere asserted that Joseph was a type of Christ, the analogies are too numerous to be accidental. They are:
(1) both were especial objects of a father's love Gen 37:3; Matt 3:17; John 3:35; John 5:20.
(2) both were hated by their brethren Gen 37:4; John 15:25.
(3) the superior claims of both were rejected by their brethren Gen 37:8; Matt 21:37–39; John 15:24; John 15:25.
(4) the brethren of both conspired against them to slay them Gen 37:18; Matt 26:3; Matt 26:4.
(5) Joseph was, in intent and figure, slain by his brethren, as was Christ Gen 37:24; Matt 27:35–37.
(6) each became a blessing among the Gentiles, and gained a Gentile bride Gen 41:1–45; Acts 15:14; Eph 5:25–32.
(7) as Joseph reconciled his brethren to himself, and afterward exalted them, so will it be with Christ and His Jewish brethren Gen 45:1–15; Deut 30:1–10; Hos 2:14–18; Rom 11:1; Rom 11:15; Rom 11:25; Rom 11:26.
