>> “The following law in the Torah (derived from Deuteronomy 22:26): Habah l’hargecha hashkem l’hargo — “If someone is coming to kill you, rise against him and kill him first.” <<

Nonsense!

I checked this in both the KJV, and the JPS Tanakh to be sure there was no conflict.

Neither text offers anything close to what you have posted.

Both speak of a man lying with an engaged virgin, and the subject is solely whether the man, or both should be stoned, depending on the conditions of their surroundings.

There is nothing there WRT someone coming to murder you.

That sounds like the adversary speaking through one of his Rabbis, not the word of YHVH.

To: editor-surveyor; Mr. M.J.B.

Thank you for the correction.

I don’t have a vested interest in this other than to always want the truth revealed in such matters.

I do approve of Israel taking preemptive measures when it deems the need.

It should not be a common occurrence, but as problems arise, it must be done > IMO.

If multiple dire threats arise, it may have to be more common at tomes.
