Vayechi: Did Yosef Keep the Torah Before it Was Given - The Ben L’Ashri Quotes the Chida

Okay friends, we just had the amazing zukus to be at the cover of the sacranana of Herman and at the actually we're basically still here. We're in traffic and harmonize, you know, harmon is one of the most uh desirable destinations in the world. You know, I'll I'll save the joke for a different time. But we were at the kev of the tanana and the ke of the and we're in their dal. I'm going to tell you from the on his yard site who quotes the okay we're on page tells put your hand under my thigh and swear what do you mean swear maybe he'll swear falsely the don't have to keep the Tyra they only have to keep the Tyra in is according to the Ramban He has a question based on the Raan according to the Ramb that the only kept. What's the proof? Jacob married two sisters married two sisters. of what benefit would it be for Yakov to make swear. He's swearing in mimates the answered meaning the quotes the answers knew with the heavenly spirit he would ultimately die he would remain in Egypt until they get out of gulas wasabon on himself specifically that he would keep the Tory even in. Okay. So the answer to this question is how would it help to make swear this is and the were not bound by the so the answer is well specifically accepted upon himself because he knew that he would be there for a long time and he would not get out before the says says the answer of the is you have to say this on because we know kept the Torah. How do we know? We know that kept the Torah because in we say he kept Shabas when said prepare the knife and the preparation is only for Shabasita was also careful in the precisions of so in other words what the Sakar is saying is that you have to say like this answer because Y [music] specifically kept the Tyra. Y specifically kept the Tyra. However, says itana that I myself would say it's not a question. It's not a question to begin with. Why? Why did y select for his father? When parro abducted gave her the [music] gift of gosh and go was considered the land of the Jews was like living in Israel. So init bound by the then the has force and it was made in. So in other words what the what the is answering is that since when parro abducted S he gave her is like so there is bound by the Tyra. If I could offer a humble answer to this question of the brings down that is not bound by the Tyra that may be true. However, if you look in the introduction to Shas, there's a introduction. There's a m from andim says that before the Torah was given and even today in logical. So that would mean that before the Torah was given was still in the included in are all mitzvah that are governed by logic. So abiding by your is not a it's a logical mitzvah. You gave your word you have to abide by it. So perhaps that's why the shua was binding because even though it was in and like the Ramban says the were not bound by the Tory but to keep a shu um presumably they were bound by because as the says it's a mitzv it's one of the okay that's from the quoting Sure.
