*22.1 Makkos Daf 14 A (2 lines Up)*The Chachomim (Rabbi Yishamel and Rabbi Akiva) explain that the Torah’s specification of _kareis_ regarding a sister discussing a hypothetical case of “a wicked man, son of a wicked man” where one woman is actually three types of sister-prohibitions; the Torah specifies that there are three liabilities for such a case.Rabbi Yitzchok maintained that the verse teaches that where there is _kareis_ , there is only _kareis_ and no _malkos_ . He learns the above law about sister-prohibitions from the extra words “his sister”The Chachomim learn from here that relations with a full sister is a punishable crime [and the necessity of this verse teaches that we do not punish based on logic].*Summary**Question: How does Rabbi Yitzchok learn this law* that a full sister is punished?*Answer 1: From the _lav_* written about “a sister”, this must include a full sister.*Answer 2: The word “his sister”* is repeated “His sister, daughter of his father, or his sister, daughter of her mother”, this word is superfluous, because a daughter of a parent is obviously his sister; it thus teaches that the law applies to a full sister as well.*Question: What do the Chachomim learn from “his sister”?**Answer:* They apply this possuk to *the laws of _mefatem_ and _sach,_* [to give each _lav_ the penalty of _kareis_ ]. Since there is a superfluous word here regarding _kareis,_ we apply it to another _kareis_ law using the principle of _im ein inyan._[Here we have many _lavin_ and only one _kareis_ , yet here we are taught (21.4) that each bears its own penalty. The extra words here teach that this principle should be extended to other similar cases where there are several _lavin_ and one punishment].
