Charles Ellicott Commentary Genesis 37:32

"and they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: know now whether it is thy son`s coat or not." — Genesis 37:32 (ASV)

They brought it. —Heb., they caused it to go, that is, sent it by the hand of a messenger. They were unwilling to see the first burst of their father’s agony.

And said. —These were the words that were to be spoken by the messenger who was charged to bear the coat to Jacob.
