Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

4771. 'And they sent the tunic of various colours' means the appearances that have been defiled [in this way]. This is clear from the meaning of 'the tunic of various colours' as appearances, dealt with in 4677, 4741, 4742, 4768. The defilement of them is meant by the fact that the tunic had been dipped in blood, 4770.
