English: “And Yisrael said, ‘Enough (rav)! Yosef my son is still alive’” — Great is the strength of my son Yosef, for many troubles befell him and still he remained in his righteousness more than I did, for I sinned when I said, “My way is hidden from the Lord.”
On the daf / in context: The midrash reads “rav” not merely as “enough” but as an acknowledgment of Yosef’s superior steadfastness through suffering.
Type of Learning
Derash on the verse (midrash) — not a formal named middah of the 13. The single word “rav” is expanded into a comparative evaluation of the two men’s faith under trial.
What Is Learned
Yaakov recognized that Yosef’s righteousness under prolonged suffering exceeded his own, and he expressed that recognition with the word “rav.”
