*13.1 Makkos Daf 08 B (9 lines Up)**Summary*We learned in the Mishna that a son goes into _galus_ for killing his father.*Challenge:* The Beraisa states *_“makkeh nefesh_* (a blow that takes the soul) teaches that *a son does not go into _galus_* for killing his father _(because he sins by hitting his father even if his blow did not “take the soul”).__A murderer is executed by ‘sayif’ or ‘hereg’. An inadvertent murderer goes into galus instead of being killed by ‘sayif’, so we know that galus is a sufficient kapparah for a sin deserving of ‘sayif’, however we don’t know that galus is enough of a kaparah for someone who deserves a more severe punishment. There is a difference of opinion among the chachomim regarding the severity of ‘Beis Din’s four execution types’. According to the Chachomim ‘chenek’ is the most lenient of all execution types. According to Rabbi Shimon, ’sayif’ is the most lenient._*Resolution:* The *beraisa follows the opinion of Rabbi Shimon,* and *the mishna follows the opinion of the Chachomim.* Since when one wounds his father he is killed by _‘chenek’,_ and by killing one’s father one has also wounded him, this man now needs a _kaparah_ for both _‘sayif’_ and _‘chenek’._According to *Rabbi Shimon* a son cannot go to _galus_ because he is liable for _‘chenek’_ which is more severe than _‘sayif/galus’_ .
