BUT NOAH FOUND GRACE IN THE EYES OF THE ETERNAL. The meaning thereof is that all his deeds were pleasing and sweet before Him. Similarly: For thou hast found grace in My sight, and I know thee by name.518Exodus 33:17. This is like the verses: And He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison;519Genesis 39:21. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all of them that looked upon her.520Esther 2:15. Scripture mentions this in contrast to what it said concerning his [Noah’s] generation, namely, that all their deeds brought grief before Him, blessed be He. But of Noah it says that he found grace in His eyes, and afterwards it tells521In the following Seder Noach. why he was pleasing before G-d: because he was a perfectly righteous man.

“Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a spring.” Jacob said that Joseph, from his own nature, is a ben porat [fruitful son] — a term referring to fertility and multiplication, as “Joseph” is a term of increase, like may He increase you a thousandfold. And he said alei ayin [by a spring/upon the eye], because he possesses charm, similar to what is said she found favor in the eyes of all who saw her (Esther 2:15). Therefore, he will be alei ayin — the evil eye has no power over one who finds favor in the eyes of all who behold him. The proof of this is that daughters stepped along the wall to gaze at his beauty, and nevertheless, he was not harmed by the evil eye, even though in places where abundance is present, the evil eye is more prevalent. Nevertheless, Joseph will be ben porat — he will be fruitful and multiply like fish, and still remain “ben porat” with his grace extended over the watching eye so that it cannot harm him.
