Mga Kaugnay na Sipi sa Exodo 22:24

It was stated⁹⁴Babli 46a, Sifry Deut. §237. In the interpretation of the Babli, R. Eliezer ben Jacob requires that the court hear testimony about virginal blood.: Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob says, the words should be said as they are written. What means “the words should be said as they are written”? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, he is not guilty unless he marries her definitively, has intercourse⁷³In the Babli, 46a, this interpretation is attributed to R. Eliezer ben Jacob, in Sifry Deut. 235, to R. Jehudah, as dissenting opinions., and accuses her not to be a virgin. “They spread the cloth⁸⁸Deut. 22:17. It was proven that this sentence cannot mean what it says.”. Not that “they spread the cloth” but until the things become clear like a cloth⁹⁵Usually, new cloth was simply bleached, not dyed. חִװֵר really means “pale”; only in a derivative sense it means “logically consistent”.. Assi said, “they spread the cloth”, the witnesses are not stoned, nor is the husband flogged and pays 100 tetradrachmas, until they say: you were with us at a certain place⁹⁶This is necessary to prove the witnesses guilty of perjury, cf. Note 86., and the husband hired them to testify falsely⁹⁷This is necessary to impose penalties on the husband.. If they said, you were with us at a certain place, but they did not say, the husband hired them to testify falsely? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun, Rebbi Joḥanan in the name of Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish⁹⁸This attribution seems most unlikely. Since the argument is quoted in the Babli, 46a, as a tannaitic statement attributed to R. Jehudah, it is more likely that the original text was: In the name of R. Simeon ben Ioḥai.: It is said here “putting”, it is said there “putting”. Since “putting” there means money, also “putting” here must mean money⁹⁹The argument is a little more explicit in the Babli. It is written here, “he puts a libel on her”. It is written in Ex. 22:24: “you shall not charge interest to [the recipient of a loan].” From the principle that a word has only one meaning, one infers that the husband “puts” a libel on his wife by paying for it; then according to this opinion he cannot be punished unless he actually pays for the false testimony.. But did we not state: He did not say to the witnesses, come and testify in my case, but they came on their own, he is not flogged nor does he pay 100 tetradrachmas but either she or the false witnesses would be stoned⁴⁹The standard punishment for adultery by a preliminarily married adolescent, Deut. 22:24. If the witnesses for the husband are shown to be false (cf. Note 86), they are stoned since any false witness is punished by the sentence that would have been passed upon the accused if the testimony had been true.’¹⁰⁰The Babli agrees, 46a.? Because he did not say. But if he said, even if he did not hire them it is as if he hired them¹⁰¹This disagrees with the opinion given before. The husband must actively be involved in bringing the witnesses before the court but he does not have to pay them in order to become criminally liable. In general, a person who hires another to commit a crime (or simply induces him to commit a crime) cannot in general be prosecuted since “there is no agent for sin” (Babli Qiddušin 42b); exeptions to that rule must have a biblical basis.. If the father brought two groups of witnesses¹⁰²Who then are proven to have perjured themselves. (The Babli, Sanhedrin 9b, discusses only the simple case that the same witnesses testify both about the other witnesses and the husband’s involvment.). One side say, you were with us at a certain place. The other side say, the husband hired them to testify falsely. It is obvious that those who said, you were with us at a certain place, are stoned¹⁰³Since, if their testimony had been true, the husband’s witnesses would have been stoned., and those who said, the husband hired them to testify falsely, are flogged and pay 100 tetradrachmas¹⁰⁴Since they testify to the involvement of the husband in the prosecution of his wife.. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, neither by these not by those are they flogged and pay 100 tetradrachmas¹⁰⁴Since they testify to the involvement of the husband in the prosecution of his wife., but they are flogged because of “you shall not testify as a false witness against your fellow man.¹⁰⁶Ex. 20:17. The Babli disagrees, Makkot 2b, since “a prohibition violated without an action is not prosecutable” (cf. Nedarim 1:1, Note 2).”
