TT #25 · Parashas Mikeitz · Passuk 43:34
וַיִּשָּׂ֨א מַשְׂאֹ֜ת מֵאֵ֣ת פָּנָיו֮ אֲלֵהֶם֒ וַתֵּ֜רֶב מַשְׂאַ֧ת בִּנְיָמִ֛ן מִמַּשְׂאֹ֥ת כֻּלָּ֖ם חָמֵ֣שׁ יָד֑וֹת וַיִּשְׁתּ֥וּ וַֽיִּשְׁכְּר֖וּ עִמּֽוֹ׃
Portions were served them from his table; but Benjamin’s portion was five times that of anyone else. And they drank and became drunk with him.
Torah Temimah points to Shabbos 139a.
אף הן לא טעמו טעם יין, דכתיב: וישתו וישכרו עמו, מכלל דעד האידנא לא הוה שיכרות.
English: Rabbi Yosei, son of Rabbi Chanina, infers from “and they drank and became drunk with him” that until that point they had not been drinking wine to the point of intoxication.
On the daf / in context: The Gemara reads the wording of the verse as evidence that the brothers had not previously been drinking wine to the point of drunkenness.
Type of Learning: Derash on the verse (midrashic) — not a formal named middah of the 13.
What Is Learned: The brothers’ drinking with Yosef marks a break from their earlier abstention from wine; the verse itself supplies the textual inference.
