"Cosmic Laws, to which Nature aligns." "Because that becomes their nature." This is the stepping over the threshold. "It became a Law of Nature imbedded into Nature itself." Blood thirstiness. Again, we get back to balance, maintaining, boundaries. Thank you Rabbi.
This might explain the different world views between Yosef and his brothers. Yosef brought a bad report about his brothers, claiming they ate אבר מין החי.(A limb of a living animal). In actuality, they did shechita ( ritual slaughter ) on the mother and a ben- pakua ( living fetus in the womb) is then exempt. Yosef was of the opinion (ספר פרשת דרכים) that before matan Torah, they still had a din of Ben- Noach, 17:25 so eating the fetus without shechita is אבר מין החי. The brothers believed they were already like Jews ,post Torah law Jews, so schechita on the mother exempts the fetus and it's permissible to eat it so there is no אבר מין החי . According to Rav Lapin's explanation that beit din changed the nature of the world, we can postulate the following: The brothers hold shechita is permissible so animals become blood thirsty and can attack; hence - טרף טרף יוסף. But Yaakov didn't buy this excuse: אביו שמר את הדבר- ... So he believed like Yosef that there is no din shechita yet, so animals probably WON'T attack , and he refused to be consoled! ( Also, because the כתונת פסים had pictures of animals that made animals freeze in their tracks so Nimrod & Eisav were easily able to hunt the wild animals. If Yosef was wearing the coat, highly unlikely that he was attacked by a wild animal!)

Absolutely magnificent
Wow! This is profound.
"Cosmic Laws, to which Nature aligns." "Because that becomes their nature." This is the stepping over the threshold. "It became a Law of Nature imbedded into Nature itself." Blood thirstiness. Again, we get back to balance, maintaining, boundaries. Thank you Rabbi.
Wishing you all peace and wonderful learning in 2025! ❤🕊🌞
