QUESTIONS ON RASHI
Rashi writes that the Pasuk discusses Misah bi'Yedei Shamayim. What is his source - bearing in mind that a Navi Sheker is Chayav Chenek. Despite the fact that in Devarim 18:20, the Torah writes "u'Meis"?
Riva: Normally, 'u'Meis' or 'u'Meisu' refers to Misah bi'Yedei Shamayim. There is different, for the previous Pasuk (one who disobeys a Navi Emes) says "Ani Edrosh me'Imo", and it changed to say "u'Meis' about a Navi Sheker.
