*6.3 Makkos Daf 05 A (2 lines after spreads)**Summary**Gemara:* What is the source?(That _hazamah_ consists of testimony against the witnesses themselves).*Rav Ada:* The _possuk_ says: *“The witness testified falsely,* he testified falsely”, the first words seem to imply that there is a falsity to the witness himself.*Rabbi Yishmael’s Beis Midrash:* The possuk says: “They testify against him and he falls apart”’. The testimony must be *against him.**Rava:* If witnesses allege that a murder took place on the *east side* of a building. Other witnesses then claim that the first set of witnesses were with them at that time on the *west side* of the building, we check if it is *possible to see through* from the west to the east. If it is impossible, the first set are considered _zoimemim_ .*Challenge:* Isn’t that obvious?*Resolution:* We might be inclined to believe that the first set of witnesses possess extraordinary eyesight. Rava is telling us that we judge by what the *ordinary person can see.* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. This podcast has been graciously sponsored by JewishPodcasts.fm.
