Passage Content

Yosef's father, Rava, sent him to stay in the academy.
They agreed for a fixed 6 years after his marriage to stay.
After 3 years nearing the eve of Yom Kippur...
Rav
Yosef:
I will go home and see
members of my household.
His father heard that he was coming.
He took out a weapon went to meet him.
(.7) Rashi adds: Because he wanted to give
the impression that he was coming to fight.
Two possible versions of his father's reply:
(1) Father: You have been reminded of your harlot?
(.7) He is coming home to fulfill his desires.
(2) Father: You have been reminded of your dove?
(.8) Doves are faithful to their mates.
They got involved in a long disagreement over the matter.
So long that neither ate the meal before the Yom Kippur fast.
