"Notebook Five – Additional Considerations for Completion"

שו"ת"Notebook Five – Additional Considerations for Completion"
שאל לפני 8 שנים

In the SD
Hello Rabbi,
You mentioned in the notebook, after discussing the reliability of the tradition, additional aspects of why it is not clear to claim that it is a myth.
One of these arguments is-

"If this is indeed a conspiracy and not a natural process, then I would not expect there to be any biblical statements that can be empirically refuted, such as the blessing in the sixth year before the Sabbatical (Leviticus 25:21), or the promise that when it is set on foot, no one will covet our land (Exodus 34:24), and so on. [1]
[1] The question of whether these prophecies actually came true is another question that I will not go into here.

I wanted to address this question specifically here, (I didn't see you address it elsewhere..) –
Many times, punishments and rewards are mentioned for other mitzvot besides the blessing in the sixth year. For example, in places it is said, "That your days may be prolonged," etc. And it is valid for a 'later' to see that the one who engaged in the above mitzvot did indeed die, and yet God died.
Therefore, doesn't the Rabbi see that if the Torah writes X and it doesn't happen, but rather Y (which is the opposite of X) happens, this is actually proof against the tradition!

Absolutely yes. That's why I wrote that I'm not dealing with the fulfillment of the prophecies, but with the audacity of the writer of the Torah who wrote them. There are excuses regarding the fulfillment, and therefore perhaps they shouldn't be seen as problems, but it's clear that it's impossible to provide evidence for the reliability of the Torah from the fulfillment of the prophecies because on the surface it's not clear that they were fulfilled (where is this guy's longevity?! To the world) That's why I focused on the daring to write the prophecies, which is a better argument than the fulfillment. Although it can be argued that if every such prophecy can be reconciled, then there is no daring here. Your answer to that is in my translation: 1. We are willing to accept excuses if there is basic trust. The daring and fulfillment of some of the prophecies creates basic trust. 2. Even if all of this does not come true, I would not write and rely on the creativity of the learners. It is better not to take the risk and not to write at all.
