Yosef HaTzadik was the eleventh son of Yackov and the eldest of Rochel.

Transcendor of the Eye

The more a person pays attention to physicality the more he is controlled by his eyes. Since he follows his eyes, they control him. Yosef reached the level where he would 'close his eyes' and not pay any attention at all to the physical world, even for a moment. He is therefore called 'Transcendor of the Eye' since he transcended eyes ruled over them. (Likutay Halachos, Hil. Nitilas Yadayim Shachris 4/7)
