<DIV>since there is a <BR>whole class of prophecies meant not to be understood,

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the intent of the mareh is not intended to be
understood then the nevuoh is the metaphor without the pisron. I do not see why
this contradicts what I said. If the intent was not to transmit a pisron, then
what is left (the entire nevuoh in such a case) is the metaphor
alone.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think the idea is fairly straight forward: What
Hashem wants transmitted gets through <STRONG>infallibly</STRONG> to the novi,
with the pisron if that is the intent, or without a pisron if that should be
Hashem's desire, or a mixture of both some part of the nevuoh with a pisron and
another part without a pisron if that is what Hashen wants.</FONT></DIV>
