*11.1 Makkos Daf 07 B (3 lines Up)*Today’s audio is less than 4 minutes. Use the extra minute to repeat the give and take of the gemara out loud. It’s pretty complicated; so if you can repeat it out loud that’s some accomplishment!*Summary*The _passuk_ gives an example of an inadvertent killing as follows: If two people enter the forest to chop wood “ _v’nashal habarzel min ha’eitz_ ”. There are two possible ways of translating this:1. The iron (blade) flew off ‘the wooden (handle)’ and killed somebody. (Chachomim).2. The iron (blade) made ‘a piece of the tree’ fly off and kill somebody. (Rebbi).*Rav Chiya bar Ashi* quoting *Rav:* Both ways of learning are gleaned from the same _passuk_:*Rebbi* holds “ _yesh eim l’masores_ - the way a word is *spelled* out in the Torah should be looked at as the source”. Since _v’nashal_ is spelled *_v’nishal_* we understand “2” to be the appropriate translation.*The Chachomim* hold “ _yesh eim l’mikra_ - the way a word is *read* should be looked at as the source”, and since we read *v’nashal,* “1” is the proper understanding.*Challenge:* Does Rebbi hold _yesh eim l’masores?_*Rav Yitzchok bar Yosef* quoting *Rabbi Yochanan: Rebbi, Rabbi Yehuda ben Roetz, Beis Shammai, Rabbi Shimon, Rabbi Akiva all hold _yesh eim l’mikra!_**Resolution: Rebbi* holds _yesh eim l’mikra,_ and *that’s why he said “Besides,”* (10.6). [His argument from _yesh eim l’masores_ was only according to the opinion of the Chachomim]. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
