*2.2-Makkos Daf 02 B (13 Lines Down)**Summary**Ula:* Is there *a hint to the law of _Eidim zoimemeim_* in the Torah?*Question:* It’s an open _possuk_ ?!*Explanation:* Is there *a hint to the law of administering* malkos when standard _ka’asher zamam_ is impossible?*The possuk states* (regarding two men who have a dispute in _beis din_ ): “Justify the righteous one, and condemn he who is wrong (the _rasha_ ), *then whip the man* who is wrong if applicable”.*Question: Do we whip everyone* who loses a case in _beis din_ ?*Answer:* This _possuk_ refers to a case where witnesses (A & B) condemned C. Then *another set of witnesses came and rendered A&B _zoimemim_ ,* thus justifying he who was truly righteous (C). A & B are now rendered _resha’im_ and when _ka’asher zamam_ is impossible, they are whipped (receive _malkos_ ).(They are only whipped if applicable. If _ka’asher zamam_ is possible, *“we can only punish with one punishment”* and they do not receive _malkos_ .) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
