*1 Rashis actual language is as follows ----------------------------------------- Yissachar and Zevulun couldnt have done it because they were the 5th and 6th child and would not have spoken up in front of their older brothers Shimon and Levi ----------------------------------------- But I have deviated from Rashi to show how strong the spreadsheet method is. After examining the above spreadsheet we see there are only 4 people who could have tried to kill Joseph--Shimon, Levi, Yissachar, Zevulun We can now offer many arguments ARGUMENT 1 Yissachar and Zevulun wouldnt have ---------- spoken in front of an old brother ARGUMENT 2 Shimon and Levi were murderers anyway ---------- as we can see from the pillage of Schem ARGUMENT 3 Joseph jailed Shimon and disgraced ---------- him in front of his other brothers as it states in Gn42-24 According to this explanation ONLY Shimon tried to Kill Joseph not Levi. My intention here is not to deviate from Rashi but rather to show you how powerful the spreadsheet methods are. |
