Sanhedrin 32b:6
[edit]
  • כדתניא צדק צדק תרדף אחד לדין ואחד לפשרה
    • Sanhedrin 32b:6
    • Translation:
      • As it is taught in a baraita: When the verse states: "Justice, justice, shall you follow," one mention of "justice" is stated with regard to judgment and one is stated with regard to compromise.

Bizarre quotes

[edit]

There is a substantial category of bizarre quotes, of which Mishnah Sanhedrin 7:4 may be cited as an example. The practical question is to what extent such quotes should be showcased on Wikiquote, and in what manner. My own stance on this issue is that if such quotes warrant inclusion at all, then they should be provided with clarifying comments, with links to relevant Wikipedia pages whenever possible. This talk page, then, might function as a drafting space for such comments. BurningLibrary (talk) 19:30, 7 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Mishnah Sanhedrin 7:4
[edit]
  • הַבָּא עַל הַזְּכוּר וְעַל הַבְּהֵמָה, וְהָאִשָּׁה הַמְבִיאָה אֶת הַבְּהֵמָה, אִם אָדָם חָטָא, בְּהֵמָה מֶה חָטָאת, אֶלָּא לְפִי שֶׁבָּאת לָאָדָם תַּקָּלָה עַל יָדָהּ, לְפִיכָךְ אָמַר הַכָּתוּב תִּסָּקֵל. דָּבָר אַחֵר, שֶׁלֹּא תְהֵא בְּהֵמָה עוֹבֶרֶת בַּשּׁוּק וְיֹאמְרוּ זוֹ הִיא שֶׁנִּסְקַל פְּלוֹנִי עַל יָדָהּ:
    • Mishnah Sanhedrin 7:4
    • Translations:
      • A man who engages in intercourse with a male or with an animal, and a woman who engages in intercourse with an animal, are executed by stoning. The animal is likewise stoned to death. The mishna asks: If the person sinned by doing this, how did the animal sin? Rather, because a calamity was caused to a person by it, therefore the verse states that it should be stoned, so that it does not cause another to sin. Alternatively, it is so that this animal will not pass through the marketplace, and those who see it will say: This is the animal because of which so-and-so was stoned, and its existence would shame his memory.
