HALAKHAH: “The High Synhedrion,” etc. ³³⁷This is not a repetition of the Mishnah. The paragraph really does not refer to the qualifications of a court but to the requirement of having 10 adult males in attendance for religious observations of a “congregation.” The paragraph is an almost complete quote from Berakhot 7:3, Notes 106–108, is repeated in Megillah 4:4 (75b l. 7), Babli 23b, and is alluded to in Sanhedrin4:10. Rebbi Abba, Rebbi Yasa in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: It says here “congregation”, and it says there “congregation”, how long the evil congregation. Since “congregation” there means ten, so here also ten. Rebbi Simon said, it is said here “amid”, and it is said there “amid”. Since “amid” there means ten, so here also ten. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun told him, if you want to infer from “amid”, there are too many. But it is said here “the sons of Israel”, and it is said there, “the sons of Israel”, the sons of Israel came to buy grain. Since “the sons of Israel” there were ten, so here also ten.
