[Avodah] Rivkah's Intention

[Rich, Joel]

	TWO tangents [or answering 2 questions with the same derech]
	

	1.	Who gave Yaakov permission to "lie" 
	2.	Who gave Eliezer permission to use Nichush to find a
wife for Yitzchak? 

	The common answeris the hora'as hsa'ah of a navi..
	
	Re: Ya'alkov Rivka received a prophecy that was destiny.
"vayomer hashem lah"  This goes agaisnt Rashi's drush on the passuk and
takes the statemtn as literal.  Hashem Told Rivka the destinby and as a
nevi'ah Rivka had permission to set aside halachah in a temporary case.
	
	Re: Eliezer, Avarahm told Eliezer that a "mal'ach" would
acompany him.  Thus, his nichush was predicated upon the words of a
navi.  Thus the G'mara could BOTH say that this is absolute nichush IN
GENERAL but that Eliezer did no wrong because he had dispensation from a
navi.

	 =======================================
	1. Any insight then into why HKB"H didn't just tell Yitzchak
rather than set up a story which leads many to the "wrong" conclusion?
	
	2. I'm in the office but doesn't the gemara say that eliezer's
nichush was of an acceptable variety for different reason (based on
psychology iirc)
