פסים – And Yisroel loved Yosef etc. and he made for him a kisoanes
passim <ornate cloak>.
The main provocation of the garments
of feces is in the desire of promiscuity, and Yosef who completely divested
himself of this, merited to the kisoanes passim.
His brothers thought
that he was not completely free of this, and they were therefore jealous and
stripped him of the kisoanes.

brought the kisoanes to Yaakov, he immediately linked it to the battle against
the wife of Poateefar.

The Shevatim <tribes> that he
desired to rule with the kingdom of the evil realm which is drawn from wealth,
and in reality it was the opposite, his rule came through daas <realization

will> when eating, and therefore Yehuda proposed that through selling him
they would rectify what they considered to be a defect in the illumination of
the rutzoan.

עִזִּים וגו' – And they slaughter a
goat etc..
