Come and hear! If it [the city] has no 'public square',<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. Deut, XIII, 17: And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the public square thereof. ');"><sup>38</sup></span> it cannot become a condemned city: this is R. Ishmael's view. R. Akiba said: If it has no public square, one is made for it.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Infra 112a, ');"><sup>39</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
To hang one who is liable for hanging: That we were commanded to hang one who is liable for hanging by the court. And it is known that all those who are hung are first stoned. And about this it is stated (Deuteronomy 21:22), "and you shall hang him on a pole." And the law of hanging is with a blasphemer and one who worships idolatry only - like the words of the sages in the chapter [entitled] Nigmar HaDin (Sanhedrin 45b), who argue against that [position] of Rabbi Eliezer, who says [that] all those who are stoned are hung.
