*21.3 Makkos Daf 13 B (Bottom line)*

*21.3 Makkos Daf 13 B (Bottom line)*According to Rabbi Akiva _malkos_ is applicable where the Torah warns about _kareis_ , because _kerisus_ is administered by the heavenly court who can be appeased by _teshuva_ (20.3). Subsequently there was a long discussion about Rabbi Akiva’s reasoning.*Summary**Ravina:* The reason Rabbi Akiva administers _malkos_ where there is _kerisus_ is *indeed because _kerisus_ is administered by the heavenly court* who can be appeased by _teshuva._The argument against this (20.5) was that perhaps he will not do teshuva, still, *since we’re not certain* that he will receive additional punishment, we may administer _malkos._*[20.3] Rabbi Yitzchok:* No capital crimes are liable for _malkos._ *Even _kerisus_ -level prohibitions are not liable for _malkos._*Forbidden relations with *a sister was part of the general rule* of all the close relatives with whom intimate relations are punishable by _kerisus._ *And yet the Torah specifies* that forbidden relations with a sister is a _kerisus_ liability; this teaches that it [and all others in the rule] is punishable *only by _kareis_ and not _malkos._**Question:* How do *the Chachamim* (Rabbi Yishamel and Rabbi Akiva) explain the Torah’s specifying _kareis_ regarding a sister?*Answer:* The specification emphasizes that *all _chayvei kerisus_ have their own punishment* [if one person had relations b’shogeig with three different _arayos,_ he must bring three korbanos].*Rabbi Yochanan:* If he transgressed all the _arayos_ without knowing that it’s problematic _[he was a liberal, and then he became a baal teshuva],_ *he must bring a _korban_ for each transgression.* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
