*Bump*
Help me understand this, please, anyone.I had a question today regarding the Ben Sorer u’Moreh. The torah in its profound wisdom perceives this boy as a potential robber and eventual murder in his future. The torah therefore paskins that it is better for him to die clean now, then to die as an adult murderer later, sparing untold future crimes and catastrophic consequences.
My question is why does he deserve, though, to be killed in the harshest way: skilla i.e. stoning? Alright we should kill him now, but he technically didn’t do anything yet? why shouldn’t sayif or serayfa be sufficient? why sekillah?
