rebbi

Rebbi Yehudah said forty full... etc. between his shoulders.: Rebbi Yitzchak said, What is the reason of Rebbi Yehuda? That it is written (Zechariah 13,6) "What are these wounds between your hands? And he will say that I was hit in the house of those who loved me." And according to the Rabbis? [Who say that there is no fortieth lash which would be administered between the shoulders.] That verse is referring to the schoolchildren.

And if he dies under his hand, [the agent of court] is exonerated. If he added one additional lash and he died, then [the agent] is exiled on his account. If he soiled himself, whether with excrement or urine, he is exempt [from any further lashes]. Rebbi Yehuda says, A man [is exempt only with] excrement, but a woman with [is even exempt with] urine. GEMARA:

Rav Sheises says in the name of Rebbi Elazar ben Azaryah, From where do we know that the strap should be of calfskin? That the Torah says (Deuteronomy 25,3) "Forty you should hit him" and next to it, (Deuteronomy 25,4) "Do not muzzle an ox while it's threshing.".

And Rav Sheises also said in the name of Rebbi Elazar ben Azaryah, From where do we know that a yevama who falls to one with blisters, that we do not "muzzle" her? That the Torah says (Deuteronomy 25,4) "Do not muzzle an ox while it's threshing." and next to it, (Deuteronomy 25,5) "When two brothers dwell together. etc."

And Rav Sheises also said in the name of Rebbi Elazar ben Azaryah, Anyone who disgraces the holidays is like one worships idolatry, as the Torah says, (Exodus 34,17) "You shall make so no molten gods" and next to it (Exodus 34,18) "The holiday of the matzos you should observe".

And Rav Sheises also said in the name of Rebbi Elazar ben Azaryah, Anyone who tells over Lashon Hara and anyone who accepts Lashon Hara, and anyone who gives false testimony is fit to be thrown to the dogs as the Torah says, (Exodus 22, 30) "To the dogs you should throw it" and next to it (Exodus 23,1) "Do not bear a false report etc." Read it also "Do not cause to be accepted.

We do not flog him etc.: Rav Chisdah said in the name of Rebbi Yochanon, From where do we know that the strap is doubled? That the Torah says "And he shall cast down". But that is needed for itself. [to teach that the sinner should be bent over.]? If so than the Torah should have written "bend over" what does "cast over" mean? Learn from here both things.

The striker strikes with his hand: The rabbis taught [in a baraisa], We only appoint attendants [to flog] who are lacking in strength but have superior intellect. Rebbi Yehuda says that we even appoint those lacking intellect but possessing superior strength.

Rava says, the apoion of Rebbi Yehuda is more logical, for it is written (Deuteronomy 25,3) "Do not add, lest you'll add". This harmonizes if you say those lacking intellect, that would be why we would need to warn them, but if you say those possessing superior intellect, then why must we warn them? And the Rabbis? [How would they respond to this?] We only motivate one who can be motivated.

If he soiled himself. etc.: The Rabbis taught [in a baraisa], Both a man and a woman [are exempt] with excrement, but not urine, these are the words of Rebbi Meir. Rebbi Yehuda says, a man [is exempt] with excrement and a woman with urine. And the sages say, both a man and a woman [are exempt] with either excrement or urine.

Rebbi Yehuda says, a man [is exempt] with excrement and a woman with urine. And the sages say, both a man and a woman [are exempt] with either excrement or urine.

But it was taught in a different baraisa, Rebbi Yehuda says, both a man and a woman [are exempt] with excrement? Rav Nachman bar Yitzchak answered,... [The second baraisa means that] both of them are equal with regards to excrement....

MISHNA: Anyone liable to kares who is flogged is exempt from their kares as the Torah says (Deuteronomy 25, 3)"And your brother should be flogged in your eyes" [this implies] when he gets flogged he is considered your brother. These are the words of Rebbi Channaia ben Gamliel.

And Rebbi Chanania ben Gamliel also said, If one who transgresses a single sin looses his soul over it, one who performs a single mitzvah how much so does his soul be given to him. Rebbi Shimon says, It can be learned from its own place. That the Torah says (Leviticus 18, 29) "And the soul which performs will be cut off etc" and it says elsewhere

Rebbi Shimon bar Rebbi says, behold the Torah says (Deuteronomy 12,23) "Only be steadfast in not eating blood, for blood is the soul. etc." And now if by blood, which a person naturally holds back from, one who separates himself from it receives reward, then by robbery and immorality which a person's natural inclination seeks out and wants, how much more so will one who separates from them receive reward and for generations and generations afterwards until the end of all generations.

Rebbi Chanania ben Akashia says, Hashem wanted to give merit to Isreal. Therefore he gave them many mitzvas as the Torah says (Isaiah 42,21) "Hashem was pleased, for His righteousness’ sake, To make the teaching great and glorious."

Rav Nachman (bar Yitzchak) says, Who is this tanna? Rabbi Yitchak who says that there is no kares by liabilities of malkus, that we learned in a baraisa, Rebbi Yitzchak says, Liabilities of kares are included in the punishment of malkus, and why was kares bachoso singled out? To punish him with kares alone but not malkus.

Rav Adda bar Ahava says in the name of Rav, The halacha is like Rabbi Chanania ben Gmaliel. Rav Yosef asked, Who went up to heaven, returned and said this? Abaye responded, rather it's like that which Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi said, Three things that Beis Din shel mattah [court] did that Beis din shel malleh [the heavenly court] agreed to. Who ascended returned and told us? Rather we expounded verses, so too here we expound verses.

The text said, Rebbi Yehoshua ben Levi says, Three things that Beis Din shel mattah [court] did that Beis din shel malleh [the heavenly court] agreed to. These are they, Reading Miggilah [on purim], greeting with the name of G-d, and bringing maiser.

Rebbi Elazar said, in three places the divine presence made an appearance. In the court of Shem, in the court of Shmuel HaRamasi, and in the court of Shlomo. In the court of Shem, as it is written, (Genesis 38,26) And Yehudah recognized her and said she is righteous, it is from me". How did he know? Maybe the same way that he had went to her, a different man also had went to ho her? A hevenly voice called out and said "From me" these hidden things have come forth.

Rebbi Simlai expounded, Six hundred and thirteen mitzvos were told to Moshe. Three hundred and sixty five prohibitions in accordance with the days of the sun. And two hundred and forty eight positive commandments in accordance with the limbs of a person. Rav Hamnunya said what is the meaning of the verse (Deuteronomy 33,4) "Moshe commanded us a law ("Torah"), an inheritance"? "Torah" has a numerical value of

"But he honors those that fear Hashem" This refers to Yehoshafut the King of Yehuda, who whenever he would see a Torah scholar would get up from throne, embrace them and kiss them, and call them (my father, my father), my Rebbi, my Rebbi, my master, my master.

"He swears to his own hurt, and does not changes" like Rebbi Yochanon. That Rebbi Yochanon once said, I will be fasting until I reach my house.

"Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent" like Rebbi Yishmael Ben Yosi

"He who despises unlawful gain", like Rebbi Yishmael ben Elisha.

"Who shakes his hands from accepting a bribe", like Rebbi Yishmael b'Rebbi Yosi.

"Who stops his ears from hearing bloodshed", that he does not hear a degradation of one of the Rabbis and remain silent, like Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Shimon.

"And shuts his eyes from seeing evil" this is like what Rebbi Chia bar Aba said. That Rebbi Chia bar Aba said this refers to one who does not gaze at woman at the time that they are doing their laundry.

Rebbi Yosi bar Chanina says, four decrees were decreed by Moshe Rabainu on Israel. Four [later] prophets came and nullified them. Moshe said (Deuteronomy 33,28) "And Israel dwells in safety, The fountain of Yakov alone". Came Amos and nullified it as it is said, (Amos 7,5) "Please now, How can Yakkov stand? etc." And it is written later, (Amos 7,3) "God repented concerning this etc.".

And once Rabban Gamaliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah, Rabbi Joshua, and Rabbi Akiva, were traveling together, when they heard the sound of the crowds of Rome from the plaza one hundred and twenty mil away. They started to cry, but Rebbi Akiva was laughing. They said to him Because of why are you laughing? He said to them And you, why do you weep? They told him, these Goyim that bow down to wood and burn frankincense to the worship of the stars are living in peace and tranquility. While us, our house - the footstool of our God is burnt
