תלמוד על סנהדרין 6:4

²²⁶A parallel in Sanhedrin 6:8 (fol. 23c, line 17). Similar arguments in the Babli, 8a, Sanhedrin 45a. The argument of Rebbi Jehudah seems inverted. There²²⁷Mishnah Sanhedrin 6:5, speaking about people executed by stoning. According to R. Jehudah, they are clothed in rectangular sheets of cloth., he says: “One covers a man in front and a woman front and back.²²⁸But the majority holds that a woman is stoned only fully clothed. Therefore, R. Jehudah seems unconcerned that men should get bad ideas in seeing her.” And here, he says so? There, she goes to her death anyhow, but here, maybe she will be found to be pure and the young priests would attack her²²⁹This is an explicit statement of R. Jehudah 1:7.. The argument of the rabbis seems inverted. There²³⁰Mishnah Sanhedrin 6:5, Soṭa 3:9., they say: “A man is stoned naked but no woman is stoned naked.” And here, they say so? There, “you shall love your neighbor as yourself,” choose for him the easiest death²³¹Since in rabbinic tradition a person is “stoned” by being pushed down from a high cliff (Mishnah Sanhedrin 6:6), his chances of being killed instantly are greater if his fall is not cushioned by clothing. In the Babli, this is not considered a complete answer; the question is whether shame or suffering is worse.. But here, ²³²Ez. 23:48.“all women should be taught and not do as your whoring.”
