I recently was studying in Genesis about Joseph and picked up on some similarities that I have never notice before. When he was thrown into the pit, by his brothers, his coat of many colors (one that would represent prominence) was taken from him and covered with goat's blood and used as "evidence" of his slaughter by wild animals. Later on in his life while at Potiphar's house I see a similarity. Potiphar's wife begs Joseph, this one last time to sleep with her and Joseph responds by running away. She is left with his coat in her hands, which she uses as "evidence" that Joseph tried to force himself on her.
Now I do not know right now if there is any meaning behind this, but it is an interesting similarity that shows up in God's word. There are so many things that you can find if you just pay attention to the details that are on the page.
