[Avodah] Ein shliach lidvar aveirah

[eliezere at aol.com]

Regarding tricking someone into sinning, and the heightened punishment for doing so, see Rambam in 10 Kilayim 1 and Sifrei and Chasam Sofer in Bamidbar 30:16.  The bottom line is that some hold that unlike shli'ach lidvar aveira where the shliach is shogeg but could have known, and unlike lifnei iver, where the victim should have been more distrustful, there are cases where the malefactor stands in the shoes of his victim, at least in dinei shamaim. This is discussed at http://havolim.blogspot.com/2010/07/mattos-bamidbar-3016-causing-others-to.html
