Reply To: Very interesting Kasha�Makas Choshech

The Netziv is against those miforshim that say only Shevet Levi didn’t work. It also is kineged hasvarah to say that none of the 4/5 wanted to leave their homes. Besides, all this happened before Matan Torah – before their was the concept of aveiros. You can’t say that the 4/5 were worse than all the other nations that rejected Hashem and the Torah yet they weren’t killed!
