“Whoever tells tales violates a prohibition… and although not punishable by whipping, it is a grave offence, and leads to the death of many souls in Israel… For an example of the tragic consequences of this violation, read what happened after Doeg’s report concerning the priests of Nob* … Even if what he says or repeats be true, the talebearer ruins the world.”** * I Samuel 22:6- 19)
