Dies ist die Geschichte der Nachkommen Jakobs: Joseph. war siebzehn Jahre alt, da hütete er mit seinen Brüdern die Schafe mit den Söhnen Bilhas und Silpas, der Frauen seines Vaters. Joseph war noch kindlich und hinterbrachte ihrem Vater ihre bösen Reden.
Zohar
Jacob took over the house through Joseph, as it is written: "These are the generations of Jacob Joseph" (Beresheet 37:2). Moses did not mate with her until he attained (the connection with) Joseph. When the Shechinah returned from the exile (Moshe) was able to unite with (the Shechinah) only through Joseph, as it is written: "And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him" (Shemot 13:19). Why is it written: "with him?" Because the body is not (fit) for mating with the female unless it unites with the covenant (i.e. Yesod). This is why Moses took Joseph with him. Because, since (Yosef) was (connected) with him, (Ze'er Anpin) could mate with this Female principle in the proper manner. Thus, Jacob, Moses and Joseph go together as one.
