Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors.
#genesis 37:3 #vayeshev

Could Joseph's coat have been an unintentional mantle of office like the one that Elijah passed on to Elisha, a prophetic coat of twelve colors?

On the other hand, the Hebrew word for colors in "coat of many colors" might literally refer to length not color. The Septuagint uses a Greek word that means "various", but still doesn't say "colors".
