PURIFYING THE CITY

1) Method, or miracle? -

What method did Rebbi Shimon use to ascertain the location of the graves, and thus purify the rest of the city?

2) Rebuke to the nay-sayers -

What did R' Shimon mean in his objection to ha'Hu Saba, "People will say that harlots adorn one another, all the more so Chachamim!"

3) And Punishment -

Why were "ha'Hu Saba" and Yehuda ben Geirim indeed punished due to Rebbi Shimon's disapproval - even after Hashem rebuked him not to destroy His world?
