*2.5-Makkos Daf 02 B (10 lines after spreads)*

*Summary**Rav Papa* : _Kofer_ is certainly a _kapparah_ , there is no argument in that regard. It is only a question of how the price is assessed.The *Rabbanan* base their assessment on *the victim,* because the term _hashasa_ is used by the Torah with regard to paying _kofer_ . _Hashasa_ is also used in the case of a woman who loses a fetus. There, the value of the fetus is assessed, and the payment is based on the damage done. Here too, the payment amount is based on the damage done.*Rabbi Yishmael* says that since _kofer_ is _pidyon nafsho_ - a redemption of his own life, his own value is assessed.*The Rabbanan* counter that the value of the damage is what brings about _pidyon nafsho._ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
