Genesis 37:3-4, New Living Translation
3 Now Jacob[1][Hebrew Israel; also in 37:13.] loved Joseph more than any of his other children because Joseph had been born to him in his old age. So one day he gave Joseph a special gift—a beautiful robe.[2][Traditionally rendered a coat of many colors. The exact meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.]
4 But his brothers hated Joseph because of their father's partiality. They couldn't say a kind word to him.
