Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
From where the warning129A prohibition the penalty for which is not spelled out carries a penalty of flogging (Deut. 25:21). For any more serious infraction the pentateuchal style requires that separate verses must spell out (1) the prohibition, (2) the penalty to be imposed by the court, (3) the penalty imposed by Heaven in case the crime was not observed by two blameless adult male witnesses and, therefore, no court case was possible. In case of sexual crimes this would mean that the witnesses have to see the sex act. For a civil case, such as a husband wishing to divorce his wife because of her adultery, without paying her ketubah, it is enough for witnesses to testify to her going to a room with another man, locking the door, and extinguishing the lights. But this is not enough for a criminal conviction. for a person having sexual relations with his daughter-in-law? Your daughter-in-law’s nakedness you shall not uncover.134Lev. 18:15. From where extirpation? For any man who would commit any of these abominations will be extirpated,131,Lev. 18:29.135The verse is slightly misquoted. etc. Punishment from where? A man who would sleep with his daughter-in-law136Lev. 20:12. etc.
