This principle is formulated by Shlomo HaMelech in Mishlei,2 where he says, “‫ – דְּ רָ כֶ יהָ דַ רְ כֵ י נ ֹעַ ם וְ כָ ל נְ תִ יבו ֹתֶ יהָ שָ ׁלו ֹם‬Its ways are ways of pleasantness, and all its pathways are peace.” The Torah and Human Nature One of the primary areas where we see the idea of “darchei noam” in the Torah is in the way the mitzvos relate to human nature. To this question, Rav Yosef (Yevamos ibid.) responds by pointing out that subsequently Hashem told Yaakov “‫ ”פְּ רֵ ה ּורְ בֵ ה‬in the singular, thereby indicating that only he was obligated in the mitzvah.8 The problem is, Rav Yosef doesn’t seem to address the Gemara’s question that this mitzvah was originally phrased in the plural to Adam and Chava! Z The Torah famously permits the yefas toar, a woman one comes across during battle.4 In this case, since the Torah gauges that he may be unable to withstand temptation on account of the heat of battle and the accompanying heightening of emotions and passions, it does not forbid him to have a relationship with her.5 It is for this same reason, Meshech Chochmah suggests, the Torah did not obligate women in the mitzvah of pru u’rvu. Its sole basis, with all the accompanying ramifications, is the principle of “darchei noam.”7 If “darchei noam” can impact on the halachah where it was otherwise unstated in any capacity, it can certainly help us understand the halachah as derived by Chazal, in this instance, the exemption of women from the mitzvah of pru u’rvu. Pasuk 1 of this perek opens by saying “God blessed Noach and his sons.” Hence, the reason the words “pru u’rvu” are phrased in the plural is because they were addressed to Noach and his sons, all of whom were male and all of whom were obligated in that Mitzvah. The Gemara then proceeds to quote two additional statements from R’ Elazar ben Shimon: In the same way it is a mitzvah to say something that will be heeded, so too it is a mitzvah not to say something which will not be heeded, as it says “do not rebuke a scoffer lest he hate you, rebuke a wise person and he will love you”.
