וְאַתָּ֗ה תְּבַעֵ֛ר הַדָּ֥ם הַנָּקִ֖י מִקִּרְבֶּ֑ךָ כִּֽי־תַעֲשֶׂ֥ה הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ (ס)
너는 이와 같이 여호와의 보시기에 정직한 일을 행하여 무죄자의 피흘린 죄를 너희 중에서 제할지니라
Jerusalem Talmud Sotah
Would it not be reasonable that “the commanders should take charge at the head of the people15Deut. 20:9.” and then “the Cohen shall come close16Deut. 20:2.”? He who directs them should inform them! The text is not in the correct order17As the text stands, vv. 2–4 are said by the Cohen when the people are formed in battle order, but vv. 5–9 are said before the army units are formed, before the border is crossed.. At the border, you say that the policeman hears from the Cohen the text and communicates it to the people in any language. But at the battle order (they provide water and food and repair the roads)18End of Mishnah 5, speaking of the duties of the men freed from combat duty; a larger text must be missing here in both mss. to the effect that only warriors stood in battle order.. Rebbi Ḥaggai asked, since at the border the policeman hears from the Cohen the text and communicates it to the people in any language, should it not be the same with the battle order? Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Ada objected, is it reasonable that “when the policemen finished talking to the people,” after that “the Cohen shall come close and speak to the people”? He said to him, since you say, the text is not in the correct order, you cannot infer anything.
