Reply To: Kashas on the Parsha

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
