[Avodah] Foreshadow

[Ben Waxman]

Is the break up of the united kingdom (Israel and Yehuda) somehow 
foreseen in the brothers? Was the reconciliation between Yosef and the 
brothers (and especially Yosef and Yehuda) not complete? Was splitting 
responsibility between Yehuda (he set up Goshen's beit midrash) and 
Yosef (he supplied the food) a mistake? Is there anything in Yehuda's 
personality that foreshadows David and Shlomo's failure to truly unite 
the tribes or is the fault with the latter two only?
