The Talmud teaches that a non-Israelite who hits an Israelite is worthy of death by the 'hands of heaven,' but it adds that the non-Israelite is not to be put to death. 'Hands of Heaven' is a Talmudic idiom which basically means by supernatural intervention. This non-Israelite should expect divine retribution.

I find it interesting also there were law codes concerning the androgynous. BIKKURIM 4:3 being one of several. This may some how tie in with the explanations. -0000000000000000000--sorry my cat typed that lol

THANK YOU!! This is exactly the kind of discussion I am hoping to create with these videos! Because I don't know anyone who has studied everything and knows everything, and all of us have things to add, I want everyone to feel comfortable throwing in whatever they know and the rest of us may not know, and that way we can all learn together.

The Torah mentions how Joseph curled his hair and groomed himself, not usually said about men in Tanach, and how he was extraordinary beautiful, an object of sexual lust by both the men and women in Egypt.

Dinah, on the other hand is described as "going out" of the tent to explore on her own, displaying a bold assertiveness not common for women of her time.

Most informative.

You mention that Yosef and Dinah were switched in the womb. Along those lines I heard a midrash that explains this is why Yosef displayed various feminine traits and why Dinah displayed some masculine ones.
