3.1-Makkos Daf 02 B (3 Lines Up)Summary_Rabbi Akiva: Zoimemim do not pay by their own admission._Because it is a _knas_ (a punitive payment rather than a restitutionary payment). A knas is never paid by one's own admission.Rabbah: _Hazamah_ is clearly a _knas_ , for they are killed or made to pay despite their having done nothing (but speak).Rav Nachman: _Hazamah_ is clearly a _knas_ , for the money is still in the hands of the man they accused, and yet they are made to pay.Question: Isn’t Rav Nachman saying the same thing as Rabbah?Answer: Indeed. Amend the text to read “ And so says Rav Nachman”.Rav Yehuda amar Rav:An _eid zomeim_ pays according to his part.Does this mean that the witnesses divide the payment between themselves?That’s an explicit Mishna! (“We divide a monetary penalty but not a penalty of _malkos_ ”). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
