Sanhedrin 43: Confessions

Talking Talmud

About this episode

A page with 2 mishnayot! But first - more on the process of capital punishment, and specifically towards execution. Including, for example, who's property is used in putting the culprit to death? Plus, some numbing agent to make the experience less painful. Plus, important women donated that, but the question is who would pay for it, if the women did not come forward? (It seems public funds). So were executions as common as this question implies? Also, what happens if someone coms forward who has mitigating information, but is not able to speak? Also, the first mishnah: Proclaiming the verdict that will result in the execution, but would it be expected, Also, the other mishnah - including repentance. And the story of Achan. Where Joshua tells Achan to confess - and thereby acquire the World to Come.
