HALAKHAH: “If they do not know him,” etc. Rebbi Jonah said, so should the Mishnah be stated: Originally one accepted testimony about the new moon from everybody⁵It is presumed that the quote of this sentence includes the next one about the spoiling by the sectarians.. If they do not know him, one sends another one with him to testify about him. Rebbi Yose said, even as in the Mishnah it is acceptable: If they do not know him, one sends another one with him to testify about him. Why? Because originally one accepted testimony about the new moon from anybody⁵It is presumed that the quote of this sentence includes the next one about the spoiling by the sectarians.. May a single witness be believed⁶It was stated in the previous Chapter (Halakhah 9, after Note 309) that the qualifications for a witness of the new moon are those of witnesses in criminal cases and as a consequence single witnesses are barred by biblical decree (Deut. 17:6).? They gave you from your own. It should be logical that no witnesses should be needed⁷Since the appearance of the new moon is a natural phenomenon observable by the Court as well as by any other person.. But they⁸The entire set-up is rabbinic; there can be no objections from biblical standards. said that witnesses were needed, and they said that a single witness may be believed.

It was stated: Rebbi Simeon ben Ioḥai said, by the mouth of two witnesses shall the dead die²⁰Deut. 17:6. In the Babli, this is an Amoraic argument. The verse is read as: by the mouth of two witnesses shall the dead kill himself, i. e., in the presence of two witnesses he accepts to be killed.. Does he die when dead? But to tell him by which kind of death he will be executed. It was stated: Rebbi Jehudah ben Rebbi Illai said, and if a man intentionally kill his neighbor knowingly²¹Ex. 21:14, Babli 41a. Babli and Mekhiltot read the verse as freeing the mentally disabled from prosecution.; they shall inform him by which kind of death he will be executed.

Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun, Rebbi Ḥuna in the name of Rebbi Yose. It is said here two,[by the mouth of two witnesses¹⁷Deut. 17:6.], and it is said there two, two men remained in the camp¹⁸Num. 11:27.. Since there two means men but not women nor underaged, also here two means men but not women nor underaged. Then why is it said (two) [and the two men shall stand]¹⁹If actually the same price was paid for the two he-goats used on the Day of Atonement, but if they were regularly sold in the market one of them clearly would fetch a higher price, they are not disqualified but do not fulfill the biblical requirement of equality.? Lest one of them be standing while the other be sitting; [one is silent while the other talks]¹¹Corrector’s addition from the parallel sources., one says everything he has to say, but to the other one says, make your statement short. With one the judge is friendly, to the other he is unfriendly, lets one sit and the other stand. [They said in the name of Rebbi Ismael, one says to him, either you dress as he is dressed or pay him to be dressed as you are.]¹¹Corrector’s addition from the parallel sources.
