Jim,
I don't think the curse of Simon and Levi is so bad. I think Jacob cursed
their anger, and not really them.
You said Joseph was eight and a half years old (half of 17 years), but the
curse said they killed or as you say tried to kill a "man". Did they use to
call young boys that old men or boys or youths?
If he was 17 and called a man, at least that would fit your idea better.
