Mishlei 25:4-5 - The Silver Refining Principle/Fallacy (Part 2)

(ד) הָגוֹ סִיגִים מִכָּסֶף וַיֵּצֵא לַצֹּרֵף כֶּלִי.(ה) הָגוֹ רָשָׁע לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ וְיִכּוֹן בַּצֶּדֶק כִּסְאוֹ.

Length: 30 minutes
Synopsis: This morning (11/6/25), in our Morning Mishlei shiur, we analyzed the couplet of pesukim we only barely touched yesterday (no thanks to of Mamdani). That, combined with the fact that we only had 30 minutes, prompted me to keep the pace moving. Still, we came up with several approaches of our own, and learned a few from the meforshim. I also shared my own approach, which is example of an important principle in Mishlei methodology.
