תלמוד על במדבר 16:29

Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish said, three [persons] were untrue to their prophetic insights because of ponaria⁸⁶Latin poenariae (scil., actiones) “criminal” (actions), a post-Augustean word (E.G.). The criticism levelled at Moses, Elijah, and Micha (i. e., Michaihu ben Nimla) is that they formulated as a possibility what they prophetically knew was a certainty., viz., the following: Moses, Elijah, and Micha. Moses said, if an everyman’s death these should die⁸⁷Num. 16:29., etc. Elijah said, hear me, o Eternal, hear me, so this people will know, otherwise You would have turned their hearts backwards⁸⁸1K. 18:37.. Micha said, if you would return in peace, the Eternal did not speak through me⁸⁹1K. 22:28..
