(a) If not for the Pasuk "Lo Yakum Eid Echad be'Ish", we would have explained the Pasuk "ve'Eid Ein Bah" to mean that there wasn't even one witness. What is the problem with saying that?
(b) Why do we at first think that the Pasuk could not be coming to teach us the inference, that one witness is not believed, but that two are required?
(c) So how would we have explained the Pasuk? Why would it have nevertheless been necessary to teach us that one witness is not believed?
(d) But how could we have explained "ve'Eid Ein Bah" as a leniency, when the phrase that follows "ve'Hi Lo Nispasah" clearly intimates a Chumra?

(a) What does Rebbi Yehoshua extrapolate from the Pasuk "ve'Eid Ein Bah"?
(b) Rebbi Eliezer too, makes the inference "Bah", 've'Lo be Kinuy', but omits "Bah", 've'Lo bi'S'tirah'. What reason do we initially suggest for this?
(c) Considering that in fact, both Kinuy and S'tirah are compared to Tum'ah ("ve'Kinei es Ishto, ve'Nisterah ve'Hi Nitma'ah"), and by Tum'ah, one witness will certainly suffice, on what basis do we preclude Kinuy from the Din of Tum'ah (to insist on two witnesses), and not S'tirah?
(d) On what grounds do we refute the suggestion that S'tirah is more comparable to Tum'ah because it forbids her (at least temporarily) like Tum'ah?
