Va-Yaishev וישב – And He
<Yaakov> Dwelled

37:3 וישראל אהב את יוסף וגו' ועשה לו כתנת
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.
Therefore when they
brought the kisoanes to Yaakov, he immediately linked it to the battle against
the wife of Poateefar.

of Heaven.

the dispute on Yosef Hatzadik.

him on account of his dreams and his words.
True Aitzu

tzadikim can be mistaken in the matter of disputing and conflicting against
another tzadik and antagonize him.

Likutay Halachos, Laws of Stealing 5:10
37:26 מַה בֶּצַע כִּי נַהֲרֹג אֶת אָחִינוּ - What gain is there for us in killing our
brother?
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
of knowledge> through which one merits the illumination of rutzoan <desire,
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.

37:28 וַיִּמְכְּרוּ אֶת יוֹסֵף לַיִּשְׁמְעֵאלִים -

who was exchanged.

עִזִּים וגו' – And they slaughter a
goat etc..
Brazeness and Bashfulness

this great evil and I will sin to G-d.

Likutay Halachos, Laws of Authorization 4:20.
39:12 וַתִּתְפְּשֵׂהוּ בְּבִגְדוֹ וגו' וַיַּעֲזֹב בִּגְדוֹ בְּיָדָהּ

grabbed him by his garment etc. and he left his garment in her hand and he
escaped and went outside.
