וּבָאתָ֗ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם וְאֶל־הַשֹּׁפֵ֔ט אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִהְיֶ֖ה בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֑ם וְדָרַשְׁתָּ֙ וְהִגִּ֣ידוּ לְךָ֔ אֵ֖ת דְּבַ֥ר הַמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃
Engkau harus datang kepada para imam, orang-orang Lewi itu, dan kepada hakim yang ada pada masa itu, lalu engkau harus bertanya kepada mereka, dan mereka akan memberitahukan kepadamu keputusan hukumnya.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
Rebbi Ismael stated: He has to bear his punishment193Lev. 5:1., a sacrifice194This supports Rav, that a sacrifice is due for any untruthful oath.. From where that one needs a court195That a sacrifice is required only for oaths connected with judicial proceedings.? One learns “telling, telling196The only legal texts in the Pentateuch which use the root נגד are Lev. 5:1 and Deut. 17:9–11. The latter text contains the rules of the Supreme Court and the punishment for disobeying its rulings.”. Since telling mentioned there is before a court, also telling here is before a court.
