Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim Masechet Makkot – Daf 12A: Gemara Amar Rav Yehuda Amar Rav (09/16/2013)
Review גמרא י”ב. “נגמר דינו (six lines from the top of the Amud) until אמר ר”ל
Learn רמב”ם ה’ רוצח פרק ה הלכה י”ב-י”ד
Continue the גמרא until רוצח שיצא (twelve lines into the wide lines)
Major Questions;
- The רמב”ם says the מזבח grants asylum to someone who is trying to escape the death penalty of the king . So why was יואב mistaken for holding on to the מזבח ? Learn (כסף משנה, מאירי, ערוך לנר )
- How could the Angel of Rome make such blatant mistakes?
- Why does the גמרא not offer as an answer that the רוצח was living in the מגרש with just a pillow and blanket and no house?
