*8.3 Makkos Daf 06 A (6 lines Up)**Summary*We only consider the people who are coming to establish the matter.*Question:* How do we decide if a passul is a witness or not?*Rava:* We say to him: Did you come (to Beis Din) to observe, or to testify?If they came to observe, we disregard them and the testimony stands.*Rabbi Yehuda* quoting *Shmuel:* The *_halacha_* follows *Rabbi Yosi.**Rav Nachman:* The *halacha* follows *Rebbi.**Mishna:**Two* are watching (a crime) *from one window* and *two from another window* and *an individual* is warning ( _hasra’ah_ ) from in between.If some of them *see each other* , it is considered *one _eidus_ . Otherwise they’re* considered *two sets,* and if only two are huzam, *they are punished* for their crime *and the criminal is punished* for his crime (because there are two valid witnesses against him).*Rabbi Yosi:* Nobody is killed unless he received a *_hasra’ah_ from both witnesses* as it states: “He shall be killed *by the mouth of two witnesses”.**An alternate explanation* of the verse: “By the mouth of two witnesses” teaches that *Sanhedrin cannot hear from a translator.* See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
