Mivaksheyemes The Netziv is against those miforshim that say only Shevet Levi didn’t work.
Why do you say that? The Netziv says that Shevet Levi didn’t work. I am not aware of anyone who argues with that chazal.
It also is kineged hasvarah to say that none of the 4/5 wanted to leave their homes.
Which “svara” are you referring to? It seems pretty logical to me that people who have good jobs, nice homes, and are assimilated into a society to the extent of doing their avoda zara and not doing bris mila, would want to stay in their “kushy” position.
Besides, all this happened before Matan Torah – before their was the concept of aveiros.
There were many avairos before Matan Torah. Why do you think that there were none?
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!
I didn’t say it. The great Gadol BaTorah – who only said things that he had aboslute proofs to from the Torah and from chazal – the Great Netziv said this – because he had absolute proofs to it. Perhaps spend a few thousand hours studying his pairush on the Haggadah with all of his proofs before you criticize his writings?
