Talmud sobre Nazir 3:7

מִי שֶׁהָיוּ שְׁתֵּי כִתֵּי עֵדִים מְעִידוֹת אוֹתוֹ, אֵלּוּ מְעִידִים שֶׁנָּזַר שְׁתַּיִם, וְאֵלּוּ מְעִידִים שֶׁנָּזַר חָמֵשׁ, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, נֶחְלְקָה הָעֵדוּת וְאֵין כָּאן נְזִירוּת. וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, יֵשׁ בִּכְלָל חָמֵשׁ שְׁתַּיִם, שֶׁיְּהֵא נָזִיר שְׁתָּיִם:

Se dois conjuntos de testemunhas testemunharam sobre um homem, um conjunto dizendo que ele havia jurado dois [naziritismos] e o outro conjunto dizendo que ele havia jurado cinco —[Ao mesmo tempo em que você diz que ele prometeu dois, dizemos que ele prometeu cinco. E ele diz que não jurou]—Beth Shammai diz que o testemunho é dividido. [Como se contradizem, suas palavras são anuladas e nenhum testemunho é obtido.] E Beth Hillel diz: Incluídas em cinco são duas, e ele deve observar dois naziritismos.

Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin

MISHNAH: Anybody who adds inquiries40About the details of the crime which are investigated after time and place have been established. is praiseworthy. It happened that Ben Zakkai41According to the Babli, 41a/b, it is possible that he is Rabban Johanan ben Zakkai. During the time that capital jurisdiction was still in the hands of a Jewish court, not yet in that of the Roman governor, he was not yet the head of the Synhedrion and, therefore, had no title. cross-examined about fig stalks. What is the difference between investigations and cross-examinations? In investigations, if one said “I do not know”, their testimony is worthless42As testimony which cannot be shown to be perjured.. In cross-examinations, if one said “I do not know”, or even two say “we do not know,” their testimony remains valid43The credibility of the witnesses may be impaired. This is a matter to be decided by the judges, not an absolute obstacle.. Both in investigations and cross-examinations, if they contradict one another their testimony is worthless44A conviction requires testimony by two witnesses. If there are conflicting testimonies and the judges believe one of them, no conviction could result since it would be based on the word of one witness alone..
