PARENTAL PARTIALITY. (Genesis 37:1-4)
Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger--that is, "a sojourner"; "father" used collectively. The patriarch was at this time at Mamre, in the valley of Hebron (compare Genesis 35:27); and his dwelling there was continued in the same manner and prompted by the same motives as that of Abraham and Isaac (Hebrews 11:13).
