Sanhedrin 81

SANHEDRIN 81 - Sponsored in honor of the 40th anniversary of David and Zahava Rubner; may they continue together with Bracha and Hatzlacha 'til 120 and always have much Nachat from their children! Warm Mazel Tov wishes from Eli & Jeri Turkel and David & Gerti Kornfeld.

1)

(a) What does our Mishnah say about someone who is Chayav two Miysos?

(b) According to the Tana Kama, the same applies to someone who transgressed a sin which carries two death-sentences.
What does Rebbi Yossi say?

(c) What is an example of a sin for which one is Chayav two death-sentences?

(d) Why is the Mishnah's first ruling not obvious? How does Rava establish the Mishnah for there to be a Chidush?

2)
(a) Rabah bar Nasan cited the source to Rav Yosef's brother of our Mishnah's first ruling (that someone who is Chayav two Miysos receives the more stringent death) as the Pasuk in Yechezkel "ve'Holid ben Paritz Shofech Dam ... ".
Which death is the Pasuk referring due when it writes ...
  1. ... "Shofech Dam"?
  2. ... "ve'es Eishes Re'ehu Timei"?
  3. ... "ve'el Gallium Nasa Evan"?
(b) How did he prove it from the conclusion of the Pasuk "Mos Yumas Damav Bo"?

(c) Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak queried the proof. Perhaps he asked, all three cases are referring to Chayvei Sekilah.
How is it possible for "ben Paritz Shofech Dam" and "ve'es Eishes Re'eihu Timei" to be sentenced to Sekilah?

(d) On what ground do we refute ...

  1. ... Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak's suggestion?
  2. ... the suggestion that perhaps Yechezkel was merely repeating some of the Torah's principle Dinim?
3)
(a) Yechezkel then goes on to describe the antitheses of the above sinners, concluding with the words 'Tzadik Hu Chayoh Yichyeh".
How does Rav Acha b'Rebbi Chanina explain the Navi's opening words "el he'Harim Lo Achal"? Who is meant by "Harim"?

(b) If he defines "ve'Einav Lo Nasa el Gilulei Beis Yisrael" to mean that he did not walk 'proud and tall' (a mark of conceit), how did he define ...

  1. ... "ve'es Eishes Re'ehu Lo Timei"?
  2. ... "ve'el Ishah Nidah Lo Karav"?
(c) Why did Raban Gamliel weep when he arrived at this Pasuk?

(d) Rebbi Akiva quoted the Pasuk in Acharei-Mos "Al Titam'u be'Chol Eileh".
What did he prove from there?

4)
(a) On which principle does Rebbi Yossi base his statement 'Nidon be'Zikah ha'Rishonah she'Ba'ah Alav'?

(b) What is the case of ...

  1. ... 'Chamoso ve'Na'asis Eishes Ish'? What punishment will they receive should he then have relations with her?
  2. ... 'Eishes Ish ve'Na'asis Chamoso? What punishment would they then receive?
(c) Rebbi Yossi concedes that someone who committed two sins receives two punishments, if the second sin is an Isur Mosif.
What makes 'Chamoso ve'Na'asis Eishes Ish' an Isur Mosif?

(d) What did Rava reply when Rav Ada bar Ahavah asked why Rebbi Yossi then says 'Nidon ba'Chamoso', and not 'Nidon *Af* ba'Chamoso' (inasmuch as he would then need to bring two Chata'os, were he to transgress be'Shogeg)?
