*6.4 Makkos Daf 05 A (7 lines after spreads)*

*6.4 Makkos Daf 05 A (7 lines after spreads)**Summary**Rava:* If witnesses allege that a murder took place in *Sura* Sunday *_morning._* Other witnesses then claim that the first set of witnesses were with them Sunday *_evening_* in *Neharde’a,* we check if it is *possible to travel* from Sura to Neharde’a within that time frame. 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 special camels; *dromedaries.* Rava is telling us that we judge by *ordinary standards* even though there may be extraordinary possibilities.*Rava:* A & B testify that *C murdered D* on *_Sunday._* But E & F testify that A & B were with them on Sunday. Although E & F also testify that *C murdered D* on *Monday; A & B are considered _zoimemim_* and *receive the death penalty.**Moreover,* even if E & F testify that the murder took place on *_Friday,_ A & B still deserve the death penalty,* because C was not yet convicted.
