Reply To: Question re: Ben Sorer U Moreh

If the Ben Sorer Umoreh is killed because of the act of murder that he will commit, why is his death penalty through stoning, if the Torah states that one who murders is put to death by Sayif – the sword? Daas Zekainim MiBaalei HaTosfos answers, since the pasuk states that the Ben Sorer Umoreh is “Einenu Shomei’a B’Kol Aviv U’BKol Imo. “He does not listen to the voice of his parents” – that is considered as if he was Mikallel Aviv V’Imo – he cursed his parents. The Torah states that one who curses his parents is Chayiv Skilah – death by stoning.
