I should also add: one of my key texts through which to approach this parsha is @bogiperson.bsky.social's story "This Secular Technology", go find it, you need it
Me: I sure have a lot of feelings about politics, justice, mercy, fathers making poor choices, and being a first born child who has left the family. Would hate to have to process all of them in a short time

Of course Act II of that story is that they excommunicate the guy on whose side God chimes in, and then there’s an involuntary opposite & decidedly unequal divine reaction to his grief where he shoots fire from his eyes, & oh, INCIDENTALLY, causes a worldwide famine when that causes crop failures.
Nothing captures this better than the story where they have a big argument about an interpretation of scripture, God chimes in to say how it should be, and the Rabbis are like "Stay out of it God, you already had your say, it's our turn now."
I always like to remind folks that the Jews have sacred text that is ~2,700 double sided pages of our ancestral experts and Rabbis very literally arguing with each other about how we should live our lives. Arguing and disagreeing is in our very nature and defines us as a people.
