But the difficulty of brotherly cooperation goes beyond material goods. The institution of yibum (levirate marriage) and the resistance shown to it in its first appearance, when Yehudah’s sons were expected to perform it, is a good example of the natural resistance to cooperation within the extended family and especially among brothers (Bereshit 38:6–9).110Bereshit 38:6–9.
