הַשֹּׁחַד יְעַוֵּר עֵינֵי - Blinded By the Bribe - פרשת שופטים

This podcast offers an extensive analysis of the biblical phrase "for bribery blinds the eyes of the wise and perverts just words," specifically focusing on the meaning of "perverts just words" (וִיַסֵּלף ַצִּדיִקם ִּדְבֵרי). Additionally, the texts examine how bribery causes the perversion of justice, considering whether it blinds the judge's understanding of established legal principles, leads them to distort the arguments of the innocent, or corrupts the very basis of true judgment, often linking this concept to the idea of divine or original law.
