The problem is that Yehudah statement (paraphrase) "lets sell him so we can get some profit from this" doesn't jive with this pshat. If he was a rodef Yehudah should have said "we don't need to kill him, we can sell him."Mavericknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-32721479258718970512010-11-30T14:55:50.570-05:002010-11-30T14:55:50.570-05:00heh.
