From the <I>peshat</I> it actually looks as if he's <B>commanding</B> God, so to speak, not to accept their offers. This would go well with your assumption that Moshe knew for certain he was right.<BR/><BR/>2. R. Behayey explains that Moshe is pre-empting a possible repentance from the side of Data and Aviram, and asking God not to accept their <I>korban</I> of repentance, <B>even if</B> they try to atone for their sins.<BR/><BR/>3. A leader should always be careful about his ways and even the most righteous leader should fear that he mistakingly wronged someone. Moshe gives a reason for what he is asking from God: "I have not taken one donkey from them" (one is reminded of Shmuel's words to the people when they ask him to appoint a king). So Moshe here is saying: even in case I did wronged these people inadvertently, please do not count it against me and do not accept their offers.<BR/><BR/><I>Vetzarich iyun...</I>Sharvulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287632945558341969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-1150983305502204572006-06-22T16:35:00.000+03:002006-06-22T16:35:00.000+03:00When I say gut I mean natural.

I knew you wouldn't be satisfied with my answer. I know it isn't so clear. I just gave it a shot.socialworker/frustrated momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352262399235382201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-1150982669695608832006-06-22T16:24:00.000+03:002006-06-22T16:24:00.000+03:00maybe. does nto seem so clear cut.

Even if hashem had directed Moshe in this still he is so connected to hashem that his first gut is to daven to hashem despite that hashem told him to do so.socialworker/frustrated momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352262399235382201noreply@blogger.com
