הָיָה רָחוֹק מִבֵּית הַסְּקִילָה אַרְבַּע אַמּוֹת, מַפְשִׁיטִין אוֹתוֹ אֶת בְּגָדָיו. הָאִישׁ, מְכַסִּין אוֹתוֹ מִלְּפָנָיו. וְהָאִשָּׁה, מִלְּפָנֶיהָ וּמֵאַחֲרֶיהָ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי יְהוּדָה. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, הָאִישׁ נִסְקָל עָרֹם וְאֵין הָאִשָּׁה נִסְקֶלֶת עֲרֻמָּה:
A una distancia de cuatro codos del sitio de lapidación, le quitan la ropa, [está escrito (Levítico 24:23): "Y lo apedrearon" —sin su prenda.] Un hombre está cubierto al frente [es decir, una pequeña sección al frente (sus genitales)], y una mujer (está cubierta) al frente y atrás. Estas son las palabras de R. Yehudah. [La halajá no está de acuerdo con R. Yehudah.] Y los sabios dicen: Un hombre es apedreado desnudo (excepto en esa región), pero una mujer no es apedreada desnuda (es decir, debe estar completamente vestida)].
Jerusalem Talmud Yoma
It was stated similarly: The Land of Israel was distributed by two urns, one containing the lots, the other containing the names of the tribes. Two young priests were standing, what each of them brought up he won. By three ways the Land of Israel was divided up, by lots, and Urim and Tummim, and by payments. That is what is written Joshua threw them lots before the Eternal at Mispeh. Lots, these are the lots. Before the Eternal, these are the Urim and Tummim. Between large and small, these are payments. Rebbi Abin said, unless the Holy One, praise to Him, made every place nice in the eyes of its inhabitants, the Land of Israel would never have been distributed. It was stated thus: There are three graces. The grace of a woman in her husband’s eyes. The grace of a place in the eyes of its inhabitants. The grace of a buy in the eyes of its buyer. Rebbi Abba the son of Rebbi Pappaeus, Rebbi Joshua of Sikhnin in the name of Levi: Even in the future the Holy one, praise to Him, will do the same. That is what is written, I shall give you a new heart, etc., and shall give you a heart of flesh, etc. He makes sour the part of others.
