The goal of this ethical work is to explain the Biblical account of Joseph and his brothers in a way that presents both sides as acting righteously, as one would expect the sons of Jacob to do. Also contains eulogies.===The author was rabbi of the Polish town of Gniezno (Gnesen) located in the Poznan (Posen) west-central region of the country.
