him.</div>
<div>HB: <br>1. What qualifies as a Novi (Dovid? Yehoshua?) In Avraham's Time The Rambam's (or other presently codified rules mistama did not apply) <br>1b: Whatever rules may/may not have applied; did Yitzchak properly investigate them???<br>2. Even if Avraham was a true Novi, do/did Novis ever make (potentially fatal or otherwise) mistakes? <br>3a; case 1; Dovid took a census he (aparentyl) shouldn't have; subsequently thousands died.<br>3b; case 2; Yehoshua wasn't careful enough that his troops/men not partake of forbidden spoils; again, many died. <br>3c. Moshe was a Novi, and made mistakes with accepting the eruv rav (acc to Chazal) and many died because of it with the incident of the Eigel; <br>Moshe also made a mistake (hitting v. speaking to the rock) and was therefore not able to gain entry into Eretz Yisrael. <br>The first case cost many people their lives with the Eigel Incident; The second incident cost Moshe something personal; Either way,
they appear to be mistakes made by an emesdika Novi Yisrael........ and consequences
followed:<br>4. Given all of the above, even if Avraham was a verified and true Novi, should/was Yitzchak allowed to have listened to him??<br>HB<br><br><br></div>
