*34.1 Makkos Daf 22 B (1 lines befor spreads)**Summary*We learned in the _mishna:_ If one was assessed for the full forty _(it means thirty nine)_ and he received part of it, and then *in the middle,* the experts standing there said that he cannot take forty; he’s _pottur._ If one was assessed at eighteen lashes, and *after he was whipped,* they said that he can take the full forty; he’s _pottur._It seems that he is only pottur because he already received some of the _malkos._*Challenge: Beraisa:* If one was assessed for the full forty _(it means thirty nine)_ and then *he was reassessed _(before he was whipped)_* as being unable to take _malkos;_ he’s _pottur._ If one was assessed at eighteen lashes, and then *he was reassessed _(before he was whipped)_* as being capable of withstanding the full forty; he’s _pottur._From the _beraisa_ we see that the new assessment matters, even if no whipping was done.*Rav Sheishes:* In the case of our mishna, both assessments were done on the same day _(thus we understand that *one of them must be erroneous,* and so we would have to redo the assessment. In the cases discussed by our mishna, since he was already whipped, we don’t redo the assessment, and he’s pottur)._In the case of the beraisa, the assessments were done on different days _(both of the assessments are thus considered valid. Since there is a valid assessment saying that he can’t take anything, we don’t make him return for another assessment because *there was already a valid sentence of malkos passed on him,* and that indignity is a kaparah for him. In the second half of the beraisa; *we follow the more lenient* assessment [of eighteen], since it is a valid one, even though he wasn’t whipped yet)._ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
