*9.1 Makkos Daf 06 B (4 lines Up)**Summary*In the _mishna_ (8.3) we learned that Sanhedrin cannot hear from a translator.There were two Jews who couldn’t speak Aramis (that was the “Yiddish” of the gemara’s day; the unique language spoken by Jews) who came before Rava as witnesses. *Rava appointed an interpreter.**Question:* Isn’t this *contrary to our _mishna_ ?**Answer: Rava understood* their language but he needed the interpreter to *communicate* with them._(The following story is related here because it took place around the same time.)_Ila’ah and Tuvia were *relatives of the guarantor* of a loan. *Rav Papa* wished to accept their testimony regarding a loan because *they were not related* to the borrower or the lender. *Ravina son of Rav Yehoshua disagreed* and said to Rav Papa: *“If the borrower defaults,* it becomes the guarantor’s problem!” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
