Talmud for Sanhedrin 7:1
אַרְבַּע מִיתוֹת נִמְסְרוּ לְבֵית דִּין, סְקִילָה, שְׂרֵפָה, הֶרֶג, וָחֶנֶק. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, שְׂרֵפָה, סְקִילָה, חֶנֶק, וָהֶרֶג. זוֹ מִצְוַת הַנִּסְקָלִין:
Four death penalties were relegated to beth-din: stoning, burning, decapitation, and strangulation. [Stoning is more severe than burning, and both, than decapitation; and the three of them (are more severe) than strangulation. This is of significance where one is liable to two death penalties, the ruling being that he incurs the more severe.] R. Shimon says: Burning, stoning, strangulation, and decapitation. [The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon.] This [(the foregoing)] is execution by stoning.
Jerusalem Talmud Sheviit
It is written (Lev. 11:28): “They are impure for you”. Why does it say (Lev. 11:35) “they shall be impure for you”? One is for the prohibition of eating, the other for the prohibition of usufruct75The argument is also found in Orlah 3:1 (fol. 63d), Pesaḥim 2:1 (fol. 28c), Baba Qama 7:10 (fol. 6a), Babli Pesaḥim 21b, Qiddušin 56b, Baba Qama41a, Ḥulin 114b. The formulation in the Babli is: R. Abbahu said, every place where it is stated “it should not be eaten, do not eat” implies both prohibition as food and of usufruct unless the Torah details the permission of usufruct as for cadavers (Deut. 14:21). One has to assume that “anything forbidden” mentioned here also means “anything forbidden as food.”. Anything forbidden by the Torah is forbidden for trade but everything whose prohibition is rabbinical is permitted for trade. But is there not the donkey76Donkey meat is forbidden. The camel should have been mentioned first since it is mentioned explicitly as forbidden animal; donkey meat is forbidden by the general clause permitting only ruminants.? It is raised for work. Is there not the camel? It is raised for work. Rebbi Yehoshaiah traded in muries77Brine possibly made with wine (cf. Demay Chapter 1, Note 156). The nature of the prohibition is discussed in Terumot 11:1 (fol. 47c); it is agreed that the prohibition is rabbinical., Rebbi Ḥuna traded in asafoetida78It is not clear how and why asafoetida would be prohibited. The best explanation is that of Pene Moshe(Margalit) that medicines are neither food nor dyestuff and, hence, may be traded in the Sabbatical year..

Jerusalem Talmud Ketubot
Rebbi Ze‘ira, Rav Hamnuna in the name of Rav Ada bar Aḥawa: She cannot be executed unless she is an adolescent at the time of the execution. What is the reason? “They shall execute the adolescent at her father’s door128Deut. 22:18–21..” But did not Rebbi Ḥiyya state128aCf. Notes 46–49.: If she whored in her father’s house and [the husband] calumniated her after she became an adult, he is not flogged nor does he pay 100 tetradrachmas but either she or the witnesses are executed by stoning. A Mishnah disagrees with Rav Ada bar Aḥawa: “If he escaped after being sentenced and then his pubic hair grew fully.129Mishnah Sanhedrin 8:6, speaking of the unruly son, Deut. 21:18–21, who can be judged only if he is an adolescent, in the 6 months after he grew two pubic hairs before the pubic hair is fully grown. If he was sentenced as an adolescent, he can be executed as an adult.” There, you can say “they shall execute the adolescent” who whored; can you say here “they shall execute him”, the son130Deut. 22:21 says only “they shall stone him”, without indicating age.?
