Very quickly review .משנה כב and :גמרא כב until first set of two dots.
The ראשונים seem to give an entirely different reason then the גמרא
why we only give 39 lashes when the תורה says 40 (See ריטב”א , and רמב”ם ה’ סנהדרין י”ז,א )
Questions:
- How can they give a different reason then the גמרא?
- What is a נפקא מיניה between the explanations? (See “ערוך לנר “בצרו )
- Why does רש”י דברים כ”ה,ג give a different explanation then the גמרא ?
