the rebounder shall illum hashem should be able to be a witness to testify for him that he will never return to this sin again joshua these words are quite enigmatic first of all we don't have an explicit source for them not in the tanakh yes the rambam brings apostic from shaya haishaya says that we're not going to say again that our actions are god's we're not going to call that which we make with our hands god's anymore well i know is a resolution that i won't do it again but this concept that hashem will become the witness that i will never ever return to this sin so yes mafaashim say the beginning of the past israel hashem and the madrid says on this impsikta secretariapsy i think pedric and yalcott chimani on the passage return israel to the point that hashem is your aid hashem is your witness the quest of mishnah explains this concept in the sukkam as well here on the rambam so the rambam from different sources concocted this idea duram developed this idea but this is quite an original statement from the rambam but let's put the source aside let's think about this what does this mean doesn't this really deprive most of us from the ability to do truva i mean let's poke about our personal lives i make mistakes i do something
