This is difficult to accept in a literal sense. Gilui Arayos is one of the sheva mitzvos Bnei Noach also, not just a mitzvah for Jews. How can there be any explanation that makes it okay for a brother and sister to conceive a child together, i.e. Shaul? I cannot see how Shimon and Dina had a biological child together. What am I misunderstanding here?

my Rosh Hayeshiva has a beautiful vort on this that yosef and dina were each supposed to be in the other person’s mother (yosef was supposed to be in leah and dina was suppossed to be in rachel) and when leah davened they switched mothers so that makes them a brother and sister through father only (a half sibling) which is permitted for bnei noach

the problem arises too if you say that they married their twin sisters so however you anwer that you can answer this

Shticky,

There are times like these I wish I could explain it to you over the phone

I gave you an answer for why osnas wasn’t included so you asked me about shaul saying he is from dina so I’m explaining that he’s shimons son through dina

I hear the question about daughters thing

Shticky guy,

Rashi is saying shimons son shaul came from dina who was nival to a kanani

Shaul ben hakananis was shimons son (ben bino)

Shticky,

Someone else asked me this and I told him the only people that were counted were sons descendants whereas asnas is from a daughter

how can Yaakov bring up Reuvain’s maaseh with switching the beds, you’re not allowed to have someone recall his past transgressions if he does tshuva?

That’s good, now if you lose it, someone can return it to you. I hope you left your phone # also.

I didn’t say I put my name in it
