Reply To: Question re: Ben Sorer U Moreh

What I am postulating is that, per the Gur Aryeh’s understanding, the reason that the Torah poskin’s skilah, is because the Torah is taking into account the BSuM’s future behavior and punishing him for that future behavior now.

I like postulation, but I may have mentioned before, the Gemorrah in Sanhedrin, (7th Perek?, a few blatt, I don’t recall which) makes it clear that it is not a punishment.

In case I didn’t mention it, it is not a punishment.

In case I didn’t mention it it here, please see every one of my preceding six posts.

the Gur Aryeh is fascinating though. I’d love to know more about it.
