Halakhah su Genesi 45:32
Gray Matter III
The Rambam might respond by noting that Yaakov on his deathbed (Bereishit 49:7) criticized Shimon and Levi for their leading roles in the sale of Yosef, but not for killing the residents of Shechem.2The Ramban would disagree since he believes that Yaakov never discovered that it was the brothers who sold Yosef; see his commentary to Bereishit 45:27. Indeed, the words “ish” and “shor” used in Yaakov’s rebuke fit Yosef, as he is referred to as a shor in Moshe Rabbeinu’s final blessing (Devarim 34:17) and is called an ish no fewer than fourteen times in Sefer Bereishit.
