As a source to demonstrate the connection between these two things, it adduces the pasuk in our Parsha which states, “‫ – וַיִּ שְ ׁחֲ טּו שְ ִׂעיר עִ זִּ ים וַיִּ טְ בְּ לּו אֶ ת הַ כֻּ תּ ֹנֶת בּ ַ דּ ָ ם‬They slaughtered a goat and dipped the kesones in the blood.” It emerges that, of all the garments worn by the Kohen Gadol, the kesones has a special association with the sale of Yosef. ‫וַ יִ ּשְ ׁחֲטּו שְ ׂעִ יר עִ זִ ּים וַ יִ ּטְ בְ ּלּו אֶ ת הַ כֻּתֹ ּנֶת בַ ָּדּם‬ They slaughtered a goat and dipped the coat in the blood (37:31) The focus of our Parsha undoubtedly surrounds the sale of Yosef and the events which unfolded therefrom. The Yerushalmi9 explains that this is based on the principle of “‫אין‬ ‫ – קטיגור נעשה סניגור‬the prosecution cannot become the defense.” The regular garments of the Kohen Gadol contain gold threads, reminiscent of the sin of the Golden Calf, and thus represents “the prosecution” for that sin.

It is for this reason that the most sensitive aspects of the day’s avodah, including achieving atonement for perpetuating the sale of Yosef, are performed in the “safe” territory of Binyamin, in order to avoid any association with the “prosecution” regarding that sale. With regards to the special two goats of Yom Kippur, the Gemara12 states that a length of scarlet wool two selas in weight was divided between the two goats, with one half being tied around the neck of the goat that would be brought as a korban, and the other half tied between the horns of the goat that was to be sent away to the wilderness. It emerges that when we take the wool which will be involved in the atonement of the two goats on Yom Kippur, we choose the amount equal in weight to that from which Yosef’s coat was made; for the events associated with that coat re
