*7.3 Makkos Daf 05 B (7 lines after spreads)**Summary**Gemara: Berebbi* (A great man): If the _zoimemim_ did not kill, they are killed. If they did kill, *they are not killed.**His father:* Isn’t that *illogical?**Berebbi:* You have taught us (he said this to be respectful): *We do not punish based on logic.*This can be learned from a *Beraisa:*“If a man takes his sister the daughter of his father or of his mother” What about a sister who is the daughter of both? The _passuk_ ends “He revealed the _ervah_ of his sister”, this teaches us that even a full sister is also included in the punishment of _kareis._Now, isn’t it obvious? What do we need extra words in the _passuk_ for?We learn from here that *We do not punish based on logic,* rather we need the _passuk_ to state it explicitly.*Question:* This passuk teaches us *the punishment* for such a sister, *where is the _azhara_ ?* (see 5.6 for explanation of the term).*Answer:* There is another _passuk_ that follows the same pattern (The daughter of *your father* , or *your mother, _your sister_* ). This _passuk_ is the _azharas lav._This teaches that *“We cannot learn a lav from logic”.* We need an explicit _passuk._ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
