What absolves a To'en Ta'anas Ganav from paying a Chomesh?
- Taking a Shevuah.
- Paying the Kefel.
- The combination of the Shevua and the Kefel.
- The trauma that he went through during the Geneiva.
- Bringing a Korban Asham.
Will a Shomer ever pay twice Kefel, or twice Chomesh, for one object?
- No; no double jeopardy.
- Yes; why not? He lied twice!
- Yes, the Torah says “va'Chamishisav,” implying the possibility of multiple Chomesh payments.
- Only after a two week grace period.
- Only multiple Kefels, but not multiple Chomeshs.
The Shomer paid for the object and then swore that it was stolen. Who gets the Kefel?
- The owner; the Shomer inconvenienced him by taking a Shevua!
- The Shomer; he paid for the object!
- The Shomer and owner split the Kefel.
- Answers A and B are a Machlokes between Abaya and Rava.
- Answers B and C are a Machlokes between Abaya and Rava.
The Ganav admitted to the owner that he stole the object, after the Shomer had paid for it. Does this admission absolve him from paying Kefel?
- No. The owner already got his money, so is no longer the object’s owner, to whom an admission means anything.
- Yes. Helping the Shomer reclaim the stolen object is the owner’s responsibility, so this is admission of guilt is to the Shomer’s benefit.
- Machlokes between answers A and B, and the Gemara ultimately rules A.
- Machlokes between answers A and B, and the Gemara ultimately rules B.
- Machlokes between answers A and B, and the question remains unresolved.
A Shomer falsely swore that the object was lost.
- He must always pay Kefel; Geneiva and Aveida are grouped together.
- He always pays only Keren.
- He must always pay Keren and Chomesh, and bring a Korban Asham.
- If he admitted, he pays Keren and Chomesh, and brings a Korban Asham, and if Eidim prove him lying, he pays only Keren.
- If he admitted, he pays Keren and Chomesh, and brings a Korban Asham, and if Eidim prove him lying, he pays Kefel.
