THE DAFYOMI DISCUSSION LIST brought to you by Kollel Iyun Hadaf of Yerushalayim Rosh Kollel Rabbi Mordecai Kornfeld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE TO DISCUSS THE DAF WITH THE KOLLEL] ________________________________________________________________ Makos 011: Lashon Azah Yerachmiel B Teitelbaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked: On daf 11a the gemara asks why the law of the miklat cities in sefer Yehoshua is prefaced with a loshon azah-"vayedaber" and the answer is because it is from the Torah. Rashi says that throughout Yehoshua it says "Vayomer Hashem, because they are not from the Torah. What about the command from Hashem in the early perakim of Yehoshua to circumsize the bnei Yisroel (amar Hashem). That is min Hatorah. Also the entire apportioning of Eretz Yisroel in sefer Yehoshua is min hatorah. --------- The Kollel replies: The only possible difference I can see is that the commands you mentioned were said to Yehoshua himself, whereas the command of separating the Arei Miklat was meant for Yehoshua to relay to the Bnei Yisrael.
