“And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no.”
They took the ornate robe back to their father and said: we found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son's robe. The instruction to examine the robe — to see whether it is your son's — is the same examination instruction that Jacob used to deceive Isaac through touch. The application: the word examine spoken over a false evidence is the same word that the previous generation used to manage the deception. The family pattern has fully returned.
