EOM, that’s the standard answer I got when I asked a couple of conventional rabbis; not very satisfactory, because it’s blatant – I mean NO mention. It is our greatest mitzvah nowadays, k’neged kulam and we don’t see it anywhere in Nach, not really. When did this mitzvah start?
CtlAltDel, look at all the neviim rebuking kings, etc, – these are not amey haaretz; not even a single quote/pasuk. How can it be?! And, how about the famous machlokos in the gemarah – in Nach, they all knew the answers and there was nothing to discuss? Please note that I am referring to Nach proper, not to midrashic interpretations of Nach passages.
This is a question that could, h”vsh weaken someone’s emuna. Anyone knows any meforshim who raise it?
