"Coat of Many Colors" is a possible mistranslation. According to the eleventh-century scholar Muhammed Ibn Ibrahim Al-Thalabi, the original words were "garment with marks". (King James Bible translators added the word "many"). It is not certain what the "marks" were nor what they represented. A few controversial scholars believe that the garment may have been a symbol of Jacob's position as High Priest of the tribe, and that the older brothers were angry because Jacob chose to pass them over and give Joseph the priesthood instead of them.
