Genesis 37:35 - John Wesley's Notes

Genesis 37:35

33 And he recognized it and said, “It is my son’s tunic. A ^awild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces.”

34 Then Jacob ^atore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and ^bmourned for his son many days.

35 And all his sons and all his daughters ^aarose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “For ^bI shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.

36 Now ^athe Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

Genesis 37:35

He refused to be comforted - He resolved to go down to the grave mourning; Great affection to any creature doth but prepare for so much the greater affliction, when it is either removed from us, or embittered to us: inordinate love commonly ends in immoderate grief.
