*21.4 Makkos Daf 14 A (9 lines Dn)*Rabbi Yitzchok: The Torah specifies kareis regarding a sister to teach that where there is kareis, there is only kareis and no malkos.The Chachamim (Rabbi Yishamel and Rabbi Akiva) explain that the Torah’s specification of kareis regarding a sister emphasizes that all chayvei kerisus have their own punishment*Summary**Question:* What is Rabbi Yitzchok's source for the law that each _lav_ of _krisus_ bears a unique liability?*Answer:* From the verse “Don’t get intimate with ‘a woman’ who is a _niddah”._ This teaches that *each woman* is another liability (the _possuk_ could have left out the words a woman, it is obvious that we’re talking about a woman).*Question: Do the Chachomim object* to this source?*Answer: They actually agree.**Question:* So, *how do the Chachomim explain* the Torah’s specifying _kareis_ regarding a sister?*Answer:* The specification emphasizes that all types of sisters *(a sister, a father’s sister, and a mother’s sister)* bear their own punishment.*Challenge: That’s obvious!* They’re different people, and the Torah specifies all of them!*Resolution:* The specification teaches that if *all three happen to be one person,* he must bring three _korbanos._This is possible in *the case of a wicked man, son of a wicked man* [A begat two daughters (C&D) from his mother, then he begat a son (B) from one of his daughters/sisters (C). When B has relations with D he is having relations with his sister (father’s daughter) who is his father’s sister (from the same mother) and his mother’s sister (from the same father)].
