Sanhedrin 4 - Shabbat December 21, 20 Kislev

Study Guide Sanhedrin 4 The Gemara suggests that the basis of the debate between the rabbis and Rabbi Yehuda about whether we rule monetary law by three judges or five judges is based on how they extrapolate the verse - is there em l'mikra, we rule by the way it is generally read, or em l'masoret, by the way it is actually written? According to Rabbi Yochanan there are five rabbis who all hold that when there is a contradiction between the way the text is read/pronounced and the way it is written, we follow the way it is pronounced. Each case where the rabbis ruled in this manner is brought and explained.   Rav Acha bar Yaakov challenges Rabbi Yochanan as he thinks that everyone holds yesh em l'mikra, as everyone follow the way it is generally read, as can be proven from the prohibition of cooking meat with milk. as it is read as milk - chalev - and not forbidden fat - cheilev. This assumption is disproven and a different explanation is brought to explain why everyone agrees in the milk/meat verse.
