אִם־כְּמ֤וֹת כָּל־הָֽאָדָם֙ יְמֻת֣וּן אֵ֔לֶּה וּפְקֻדַּת֙ כָּל־הָ֣אָדָ֔ם יִפָּקֵ֖ד עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א יְהוָ֖ה שְׁלָחָֽנִי׃
אױב אַזױ װי אַלע מענטשן שטאַרבן, װעלן די דאָזיקע שטאַרבן, און די באַשערונג פֿון אַלע מענטשן װעט זײ באַשערט זײַן, האָט מיך גאָט ניט געשיקט.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
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..
