| − | Clothes are an important symbol in the Yosef story. In this chapter, Yosef is given a coat that represents Yaakov’s love, and his brothers later strip him of the coat and use it to deceive Yaakov. Yaakov later loses his clothes again when Potiphar’s wife pulls them off of him. He is given new clothes when he is taken from prison to appear before Pharaoh, and again when he becomes Pharaoh’s viceroy. He later gives gifts of clothing to his brothers. For analysis of the meaning of clothing in the Yosef story, see Joseph and the Imagery of Clothing by Samuel Borodach. | + | <p>Clothes are an important symbol in the Yosef story.
