Back before the foundation of the world and the creation of anything, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit were back there loving each other.
“You ought to let that sink in,” says Jordan. “The love of God was something that was natural among the godhead. It’s natural for God is love.”

Israel (that’s Jacob) loved Joseph more than all his children. He’s the son of his old age and he loved him. He had a special place.
Genesis 37:3 says Jacob loved him because of who he was and made him a coat of many colors. In II Samuel 13:18, a coat of many colors appears on a lady (And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins appareled) and then on Sisera in Judges 5:30 (to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides). It’s always a mark of distinction in the Bible; something that’s given as a mark of special status and distinction.
