30.5 Makkos Daf 20 A (Bottom line)If someone tears out his hair in mourning four or five times, there is a liability for each tearing.SummaryQuestion: What is meant by four or five tearings?It cannot mean five separate acts, with five warnings, a _possuk_ is not necessary for that.It cannot mean separate acts with only one warning, there is only one liability for that, as we learned in a _mishna:_If a _nazir_ was drinking wine all day there is only one liability, if he was warned several times, there are multiple liabilities.Answer: The case here is where one smeared his fingers with a depilatory salve, and placed his hand on his head, creating five bald spots. Thus one warning suffices for five tearings._( Tosfos: This answer would not be sufficient if not for the possuk.
