A student is asking about Rashi's comment that the techeiles is from the blood of the chilazon, which arises from the sea to the mountain every 70 years. She pointed out that the BNY are in the desert at this time, so where did they get the dye?
Her teacher explained that perhaps, like Yaakov prepared the atzei shitim by planting them, maybe they carried dye with them.
Any other ideas/mekoros?
Thanks
