Rene Lehmann asked:
What is the d'oraita source for the statement that one who makes a partial admission of a claim must swear that he does not owe the balance of the amount claimed
Rene Lehmann, New Orleans, La. USA
The Kollel replies:
It is in the Parshah of this week, Mishpatim, Shemos 22:8, "Asher Yomar Ki Hu Zeh," which means that the defendant says, "I owe you this and only this, but the rest was stolen."
