“sorry they are not pesukim
they are the idea quoted in hebrew”
got it
“why did dovid hamelech feel that way? because he felt that stealing from a pauper is worse than staeling from a rich man
much as i would assume the same thing”
YES YES YES!
Nailed it!
In other words severity is NOT determined solely based on onesh. You too agree with Dovid hamelech that stealing from a pauper is worse!
“but were i to execute someone based on that id be a murderer”
Yes obviously
“has nothing to do with our topic”
Has EVERYTHING to do with our topic. your entire premise was built on greater punihsment = greater sin. Unless we had a source telling us an exception.
Here You now on your own that stealing from a pauper is worse , much like Dovid Hamelech knew on his own too. (Of course unilke Dovid You cant do anything about it, but that isnt my point, at the moment)
“it strangely leaves one type out”
Totally strange!
“youd say thats because its so horrible its obviously worse than any of the others”
I said that as a possibility, I’m not sure I buy it.
“you keep harping on the quantity of exceptions as if thats meaningful. its not.”
Of course it is, a rule with 24 exceptions isnt strictyl speaking a rule. AND the fact that this question is rarly even raised when the exceptions are raised further proves that it isnt an absolute rule.
