Yehuda sees a woman sitting at the crossroads of a highway. He does not recognize her even though she is his daughter-in-law. She is dressed again in a "different" manner. He immediately comes to the conclusion that because of the circumstances present she must be a harlot. He will be eternally and publicly shamed for mistaking Tamar’s appearance and out of this unlikely union the future of the Jewish people will arise - but it is obvious that this was not Yehuda’s finest hour. He judged the woman by her apparent appearance and he was mistaken. He will later admit publicly that she was more righteous than he was. Yosef is attractive and charming and well liked by all who come into contact with him. He is entrusted with everything in Potiphar’s house. The wife of Potiphar misreads this appearance and is convinced that he will succumb to her wiles and seductions. The brothers of Yosef who could not see past his cloak of many colors given to him by their father will also be unable to see past the royal garments of Egyptian power that he wears. Yosef recognizes his brothers but they do not recognize him. They see only a person clothed in the garb of an Egyptian viceroy standing before them. How painful it is and how destructive it is to have to be judged merely by appearance and raiment. In truth does the Torah teach us that "humans only see physically what appears before their eyes but that the Lord, so to speak, sees into the heart and essence of the person."
