Si Jose ay isang anak na kaakit-akit, isang anak na kaakit-akit sa paningin; ang mga dalaga ay umakyat, bawat isa, sa pader upang siya'y masdan.
On the Prayers and Curses Uttered by Noah when he Became Sober
It is in accordance with this that Joseph is always called the young and youngest. For when he is keeping the flock with his bastard brothers, he is spoken of as young (Gen. 37:2), and when his father prays for him he says, “my youngest son, though grown, return to me” (Gen. 49:22).
On the Prayers and Curses Uttered by Noah when he Became Sober
This is the prayer which the prophetic scripture declares should be the prayer of the man of worth for anyone of those who are his familiars—even “return to me” (Gen. 49:22)—the prayer that he may return to the mind of him who prays, and, welcoming moral beauty as the only good, leave behind him in the race those conceptions of the good which are voiced by the perversely minded. Let him then dwell in the houses of the soul of him who holds that moral beauty is the only good, and merely sojourn in the houses of the others, who value also bodily and external things.
