Questions
1)
(a) According to the first Lashon, Resh Lakish assumed that the Pasuk "ve'Lo
Yihyeh Ason, Anosh Ye'anesh" meant literally 'Ason', meaning that the
assailant has to pay only because the woman did not die - but if she did, he
would be Patur, even though he was not warned, a Kashya against Rebbi
Yochanan (who holds Chayvei Misos Shogegin, as well as Chayvei Malkos
Shogegin are Chayav).
(b) According to Rebbi Yochanan however - what the Pasuk means is not that
there was no *Ason*, but that there was no *Din Ason* (incorporating a case
where the woman died, but where the assailant was not warned).
(c) In the second Lashon, it was Rebbi Yochanan who took the initiative -
presuming that the Pasuk was referring to Din Ason, which then presents Resh
Lakish with a Kashya.
(d) To which Resh Lakish replied - that it meant literally Ason, as we
explained above.
2)
(a) Tana de'Bei Chizkiyah learns from the Hekesh "Makeh Beheimah Yeshalmenah
u'Makeh Adam Yumas" (in Emor) - that just as someone who kills an animal is
always obligated to pay (whether he did it Shogeg or Meizid, O'nes or
Ratzon, whether he dealt the animal an upward stroke or a downward stroke),
so too, is he always Patur from paying if he killed a person.
(b) This poses a Kashya on Rebbi Yochanan - who maintains that Chayvei Misah
Shogegin are Chayav to pay.
(c) Consequently, in relearning Rebbi Yochanan, Ravin explains that he
confines his statement to Chayvei *Malkos* Shogegin, but he agrees with Resh
Lakish, that Chayvei *Misos* Shogegin are Patur.
3)
According to Abaye, Resh Lakish learns from the 'Gezeirah-Shavah' "Asher Hu
*Rasha* la'Mus" (Masei) "ve'Hayah Im Bin Hakos *ha'Rasha"* - that Chayvei
Malkos Shogegin are Patur from paying, like Chayvei Misos Shogegin.
4)
(a) According to Rava, Resh Lakish learns it from the Gezeirah-Shavah
"Makeh" "Makeh". He cannot be referring to the Pasuk in Emor "Makeh Beheimah
Yeshalmenah, u'Makeh Adam Yumas", Rav Papa points out - because the Torah
there is speaking about killing (which is Chayav Misah, and not Malkos).
(b) So he must be referring to the Pasuk there "Makeh Nefesh Beheimah
Yeshalmenah, Nefesh Tachas Nafesh" ... "ve'Ish Ki Yiten Mum ba'Amiso
Ka'asher Asah Kein Ye'aseh Lo". Despite the fact that the second Pasuk does
not mention "Makeh", it is nevertheless possible to learn "Makeh" "Makeh" -
because "Yiten Mum ba'Amiso" is synonymous with 'Haka'ah' (which is
sufficient to form a 'Gezeirah-Shavah).
(c) Resh Lakish derives 'Chayvei *Malkos* Shogegin Peturin' from Chayvei
Misah - because, although the second Pasuk is talking about a basic Chiyuv
Mamon, seeing as that is not necessary (since we already know that Chayvei
Misah are Patur from paying) we establish the Pasuk by a stroke that is less
than a Shaveh P'rutah, where the assailant is Chayav Malkos, and not Mamon.
(d) In spite of the fact that we just established the case where there is no
obligation to pay, Resh Lakish learns from here that Chayvei Malkos are
Patur from paying - because it speaks when he also tore clothes with the
same stroke.

Questions
5)
(a) Rav Chiya asked Rava how Tana de'Bei Chizkiyah knew that the Pasuk
"Makeh Adam ... u'Makeh Beheimah ... " refers to when the accident took
place a weekday, perhaps it took place on a Shabbos - in which case he would
be Chayav Misah, and Patur from paying (demolishing Tana de'Bei Chizkiyah's
D'rashah).
(b) Rava answered by proving from "Makeh Adam Yumas" that the Pasuk must be
speaking when he was warned - because without warning, how could the
assailant be sentenced to death?
(c) This answers Rav Chiya's query - because if the incident had taken
place on Shabbos, how could the Pasuk continue "Makeh Beheimah Yeshalmenah"
(seeing as he would be Chayav Misah)?
6)
(a) Resh Lakish and Rabah established our Mishnah (of 'Eilu Na'aros she'Yesh
Lahen K'nas') like Rebbi Meir (who holds 'Lokeh u'Meshalem'). According to
Resh Lakish ('based on his interpretation of the Beraisa of 'Ganav ve'Tavach
be'Shabbos') there is no problem with the fact that the Tana omits the case
of Bito, whereas according to Rabah there is - because, according to Rabah,
Rebbi Meir even holds Meis u'Meshalem by K'nas (since it is a Chidush), in
which he ought to have include 'Bito' in our Mishnah?
(b) Neither can he establish the Mishnah like Rebbi Nechunyah ben ha'Kanah,
because, according to him, the Tana should have omitted Achoso (even if he
does hold 'Lokeh u'Meshalem') - because one is Chayav Kareis for Achoso, and
according to Rebbi Nechunyah ben ha'Kanah, Chayvei Kareis are Patur from
paying.
(c) We suggest that perhaps Rabah will establish the Mishnah like Rebbi
Yitzchak - who holds that Chayvei Kareis are not subject to Malkos, in which
case, there will be no problem with the Tana's insertion of Achoso (seeing
as he does not follow the opinion of Rebbi Nechunyah ben ha'Kanah).
(d) We reject this answer however - on the grounds that the Tana does
include Mamzeres among those who have to pay K'nas, even though he receives
Malkos too.
7)
Rebbi Yochanan established our Mishnah when the rapist was not warned (and
he is Chayav to pay because 'Chayvei Malkos Shogegin, Chayavin'); Resh
Lakish, when he was warned (because he holds 'Chayvei Malkos Shogegin,
Peturin'). In light of this Machlokes, we finally establish Rabah to explain
why the Tana includes Achoso and Mamzeres, but not Bito - by establishing
Rabah like Rebbi Yochanan, who will obligate the rapist to pay in the cases
of Achoso and Mamzeres (when he was Shogeg), but not Bito, since Rebbi
Yochanan concedes that Chayvei *Misos* Shogegin are Patur from paying, as we
learned earlier.
8)
(a) Rebbi Nechunyah ben ha'Kanah, who exempts Chayvei Kares from paying
would also omit Achoso from our Mishnah. According to Rebbi Yochanan, who
holds 'Chayvei Malkos Shogegin, Chayavin', the author of our Mishnah (which
includes Achoso) could even be the Rabbanan of Rebbi Meir, and the Tana will
speak when the rapist was not warned. According to Resh Lakish (who holds
Chayvei Malkos Shogegin, Peturin) - the two Tana'im who would include Achoso
among those who are obligated to pay K'nas could be Rebbi Meir, who holds
Lokeh u'Meshalem, or Rebbi Yitzchak, who holds that Chayvei Kareis are not
subject to Malkos.
(b) Rebbi Yitzchak could nevertheless not be the author of our Mishnah -
because how would he explain the insertion of Mamzeres (as we asked above)?
Either Rebbi Yitzchak or Rebbi Meir however, could be the author of the
Mishnah in Shavu'os, which obligates someone who sets fire to a haystack on
Yom Kipur, to pay.
9)
(a) The Beraisa writes 'Arayos u'Sh'niyos la'Arayos Ein Lahen K'nas'.
Arayos and Sh'niyos cannot be meant literally - because why should
Sh'niy'os, whom one may marry min ha'Torah, not receive K'nas?
(b) So we interpret Arayos to mean Chayvei Misos Beis-Din, and Sh'niyos to
mean Chayvei K'riysos - from which we can infer that Chayvei La'avin do
receive K'nas. The author must then be Shimon ha'Teimani, who holds that the
criterion for K'nas (from the Pasuk "ve'Lo Sihyeh le'Ishah") is that the
Kidushin should be effective (incorporating Chayvei La'avin) - as we learned
above (on 29b.).
(c) In the second Lashon, we interpret Arayos as Chayvei Misos Beis-Din and
Chayvei K'riysos, and Sh'niy'os, as Chayvei La'avin - in which case, the
author would have to be Rebbi Shimon ben Menasyah, according to whom the
criterion is that he is permitted to live with her (precluding Chayvei
La'avin).
