Talmud su Giosuè 15:7

What spoiling was there²⁹This refers to the sectarians mentioned first in the Mishnah.? Because they³⁰In G correctly: the Boethusians. were saying, Pentecost is after the Sabbath; one always was going out in the evening on the presumption that it would be sanctified³¹While in theory the day of the New Moon was determined only by observation, most months followed a regular pattern alternation between 29 and 30 days. Since the Sanctification of the Month as judicial act could be done only during daytime, one nevertheless could be reasonably assured on the preceding evening that the day would be one of the New Moon.. Then for Nisan they should not accept³²Since this was the only one of importance for the Boethusians. The majority of the people supported the Pharisees, so the other sects had no chance of seeing their adherents gaining control of the Temple., for the other months they should accept. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, the main spoiling was in Adar³³If one wants credibly to manipulate the date of the 1st of Nisan, one has to make sure that the 1st of Adar is 29 days before the desired date of Nisan.. Then if it conforms with ours they should accept, if it does not conform with ours they should not accept. One because of the other. ³⁴Tosephta 1:15, Babli 22b.“It happened that the Boethusian hired two false witnesses to testify on the new moon that it be sanctified. The first came, delivered his testimony, and left. The other one said, I was climbing Maaleh Adumim³⁵Jos. 15:7. when I saw it lying down between two rocks, its head resembling a calf, its ears resembling a kid goat. Is saw it, was taken aback, and stepped backward, and there were 200 denar tied in my money belt. They told him, the 200 denar are given to you as a gift³⁶Since it is forbidden to take bribes for false testimony, the witness could not legally have acquired the money given to him as bribe; he needed a court decision to keep it., but those who sent you should come and be flogged. Why did you put yourself in this questionable situation? He said to them, I saw them trying to trip up the Sages. I said, it is better that I should go and inform the Sages.”
