VERSE: Gn49-05a
========================= Gn49-05a ========================
SUCCINCT SUMMARY:
-----------------
One of Rashis 5 main goals is to alert us to nuances
that come from other verses.
EXAMPLE
-------
Jacob, in Gn49 curses the BROTHERS, SHIMON and LEVI
for murder and pillage. A quick glance at Gn34 shows
that the BROTHERS, SHIMON and LEVI destroyed and
pillaged the city of Schem.
(Rashi also suggets that Shimon and Levi tried to
kill Joseph--this uses the advanced method of
spreadsheets).

NOTES
-----
*1 Rashi states the following: "If MOTHERS make mistakes it
is because they raise children; if SINGLE women make
mistakes it is because they try to pick people up"
Rashi should be perceived as giving ILLUSTRATIONS of
why being without children is disgraceful for women
*2 Jacob did not NEED permission to leave with HIS wife
But his father-in-law would perceive it as STEALING
his daughter.
*3 Gn27-41 states that Esauv hated Jacob for stealing the
blessing. Gn27-44 states that after a few years this
hatred would subside. Hence Gn33-09 with its statement
I DONT NEED YOUR MONEY confirms these other 2 verses.
*4 Rashi is NOT commenting on the MERE coincidence that
Shimon and Levi are called BROTHERS in two places.
-Gn49-05 talks about Shimon and Levi KILLING and
PLUNDERING
-Gn34 also talks about SHIMON and Levi KILLING
and plundering.
Thus the cross reference is clear. The accident
that they are called BROTHERS in both places
simply spices up the correspondence.

Binyamin no His maternal brother Gn43-29:30
NOTES
-----
*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.
