Hi Joe, your comment caused me to go read that part again...very interesting indeed:

Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild beast has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams." But when Reuben heard it, he delivered him out of their hands, saying, "Let us not take his life." And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood; cast him into this pit here in the wilderness, but lay no hand upon him"--that he might rescue him out of their hand, to restore him to his father.
Genesis 37:20-22

And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Genesis 37:31

The word "kid" is defined as:


* as sacrificial animal
satyr, may refer to a demon possessed goat like the swine of Gadara (Mat_8:30-32)
*   (BBD)

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering
Leviticus 16:5

In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover (Jesus), a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten. And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land ....a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
Ezekiel 45:21-23

Wow :o Joe, very interesting point indeed!!!

And Diana, great scripture!

That says a great deal about the world and it's carnal state doesn't it?  Unfortunatly for many that coat will come with a target sewed on its back!
