Description

The mishna lists two cases of testimony which are excluded from the implementation of the law of "do to the witnesses as they wanted to do to the defendant". These are Ben Grusha & Galus. The braita adds another two cases, sale as an eved & the payment of Kofer. This shiur will attempt to explain the fundamental difference between the two categories of cases, one reflected by the Mishna, the other by the braita. At the same time, the two answers of Tos' regarding the principle that "testimony which is not subject to the law of Hazama is invalid" will be analyzed.
