<DIV>The common answeris the hora'as hsa'ah of a navi..<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>Kol

<DIV><SPAN class=539264114-26112008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>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?<BR><BR>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)<BR><BR>KT<BR>Joel
