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.
