We observe in Genesis 37 that there are serious dissensions in the relationships. Joseph’s brothers hated him. They were mean. They were jealous. Jealousy is what destroys many relationships. Jealousy is common in family dissension. Jealously occurs when a sibling is a favorite, more successful or loving. It can occur when a sibling is more cooperative with their parents or like a best friend to one of their parents. These factors can make a person jealous to the point they get angry, offended or withdraw from their family. Jealousy was the issue with Cain and Abel as we read in Genesis.
