to show yosef was sold multiple times before reaching Egypt - it was a long and difficult journye
וַיָּבִ֥יאוּ אֶת־יוֹסֵ֖ף מִצְרָֽיְמָה:
Chazal: HaShem had made a promise to Avraham that his children would go to egypt in order to be redeemed, but HaShem said “why should they go down in chains?”

2) they came to tehir father
3) this is what we found - examine if it is your sons coat
why do the brothers “send” the ketones passim instead of going themselves?
(2 answers)
(suspicious
pain + greif)
1) they worry that if they went in person - Yaakov would see them being suspicious
2) they couldn’t bear to witness Yaakov’s pain and grief (they couldn’t handle seeing their father in pain)
did yaakove recognize the coat?
what did he say?
1) yes
2) this is my sons coat
a wild animal mustve have eaten him
yosef was torn apart
what did yaakov do after finding out abt the death of yosef?
1) he tore his clpthes
and wore ash spack clothes
and he mourned for his son for days
whats teh difference between the two acts (tearing clothes and wearing ash covered clothings?)
torn clothing: mourning his death
ashses/sackcloth: doing teshuva bc he felt guilty for sending yosef = this caused his death
