Why, when a person dies, does God tell the angels to observe what people say about him if everything is already known to God?

This source-based Torah study examines the question: Why, when a person dies, does God tell the angels to observe what people say about him if everything is already known to God? The canonical Hebrew discussion develops the issue through the weekly Torah portion and the sources cited there, preserving the distinctions, tensions, and practical implications of the original text. This localized discovery layer does not add any new halakhic, medical, legal, scientific, historical, theological, or empirical ruling or claim beyond the canonical Hebrew source.
