This week, we will delve deeper into shevuat ha’pikadon (oath of collateral), analyzing cases where a person denies receiving a deposit or loan and then falsely swears, including the number of claims and oaths required for liability. The Gemara distinguishes between monetary and non-monetary oaths, examines the role of multiple claimants and defendants, and discusses the precise language needed to create an obligation. The final dapim shift focus to shevuat ha’eidut (oath of witnesses) again, especially in scenarios involving partial admissions, coercion, and complex witness dynamics, all contributing to the broader understanding of when and how oaths carry legal and sacrificial consequences.
This shiur is taken from Webyeshiva.org in collaboration.
